High volume, experienced surgeons
Vision correction is very common in Korea, so specialist clinics build deep experience. Apgujeong Eye Clinic has performed over 100,000 vision correction procedures across 20+ years in Gangnam.
Early adoption of new technology
Korean clinics adopted SMILE early. We introduced SMILE in 2011 and now perform SMILE Pro on the ZEISS VisuMax 800.
Thorough diagnostics
Comprehensive testing is standard practice. Every plan at our clinic starts with more than 50 diagnostic tests.
Efficient scheduling
Examination and surgery can often be arranged within days of each other, and sometimes on the same day for prepared candidates, which suits a one-week trip.
What to plan
- Stop soft contact lenses for the required period before your exam (your coordinator confirms how long)
- Allow about one week in Seoul for most laser procedures
- Bring sunglasses and avoid swimming in the first weeks
- Plan follow-up with an eye doctor at home
Results and suitability depend on your examination. No reputable clinic can promise an outcome before testing.
