Vision Correction
We have a variety of vision correction treatments. The period of vision correction treatment is different, but the required stay period is 1 week.
Vision correction treatment
We have 4 types Vision correction treatments.
Vision correction treatment is the best in the world.
We have a variety of vision correction treatments. It's Premium Smile, Premium Lasik, Premium PRK / LASEK.
Premium SMILE
The SMILE (SMall Incision Lenticular Extraction) treatment is a new procedure enables a particularly safe and gentle correction of eyesight. Now it is possible to correct myopia and astigmatism intra-corneally without need for opening a circular layer on the corneal surface thanks to the latest laser technology in corneal refractive surgery (Lasik).
This SMILE technique uses the femtosecond laser, allows the surgeon to modify the cornea’s degree of refraction/optical power through a 2~4mm micro-incision. This development is a spectacular quantum leap in this surgery since it replaces an incision or a layered cut, measuring 20mm in diameter with an incision ten times smaller, making this technique the safest and least invasive for correcting vision.

Price – KRW 3,700,000 ($3,200, both eyes)
*Average USA cost – $5,000 both eyes
(according to All About Vision, 2017)
Required stay period – 1 week
Benefits & Advantages
-Short and painless
-Minimal incision (2mm~4mm)
-Minimize dry eye
-Suitable for patients with dry eyes
-Suitable for patients with thin corneas
-40% less tissue loss (than Lasik)
Procedure
A Lasik procedure used to involve cutting a flap and folding it back to remove corneal tissue point by point. Smile eye surgery, however, is minimally invasive and makes laser vision correction possible without the need for a corneal flap.
1. The Femtosecond laser is used to create a lenticule in the inner layers of the cornea and a small incision (2-4mm) is created at the side of the cornea.
2. The lenticule created earlier is removed with only minimal disruptiuon to the corneal.
3. With the lenticule removed, the cornea shape is altered, achieving the desired refractive correction.

Premium LASIK
Lasik is a typical surgical method of refractive surgery which is fast to recover and has little pain. All the procedures of the surgery are lasered with Femtosecond (Visumax) and Excimer (Triple A MEL90) laser, to create accurate and uniform corneal flap.
Price – KRW 2,700,000 ($2,300, both eyes)
*Average USA cost – $4,492 both eyes
(according to Market Scope, 2019)
Benefits & Advantages
-Safe, Painless and fast
-Bladeless, precise
-Excellent refractive correction
-Faster vision recovery
-Consideration of the very specific eye characteristics
Procedure
1. Secure the eye using curved contact glass.
2. Once the eye is held stationary, the doctor will slice a thin layer of tissue from the top of the eye.
3. Create a soft and elaborate cornea flap with a femtosecond laser.
4. The excimer laser will sculpt the tissue in the cornea to correct the refractive error.
5. The surgeon will return the flap to its original position. Within hours, the flap sticks to the underlying tissue without stiches.

Premium PRK / LASEK
Compared to LASIK, recovery is a little slower, but the surgical part is more stable and can be operated even with thin or small eye size.
The clinic operates the surgery more precisely, considering the shape of different corneas such as refractive index, corneal thickness, and pupil size.

Price – KRW 2,300,000 ($1,950, both eyes)
*Average USA cost – $5,800 both eyes
(according to Healthline, 2018)
Required stay period – 1 week
Benefits & Advantages
-Increased eligibility (Thinner corneas, small eyes)
-No flap complications
-Excellent refractive correction
-Lesser dry eye
Procedure
1. Dissolving the Epithelium
The doctor will administer a few drops of an alcohol solution to dissolve the epithelium.
2. Removing the Epithelium
The epithelium is removed with a special instrument.
3. Reshaping the Cornea
A laser will sculpt the corneal tissue based on the eye structure. The new shape of the cornea will correct how light travels through the cornea to enable sharp vision.
4. Bandage Contact Lens
A few drops of a soothing and rinsing fluid are put on top of the cornea after the laser intervention. After the surgery, the doctor will insert a bandage contact lens to support healing and comfort.
