1. SMILE
- 2,500,000 KRW (2500000)
- A safe vision correction surgery using a micro-incision of about 2mm without the need to remove the corneal epithelium or create a corneal flap.
2. SMILE PRO
- 4,200,000 KRW (4200000)
- Compared to traditional SMILE LASIK surgery, it offers a faster procedure with less than 10 seconds of laser exposure, recommended for those who desire quicker and more precise surgery.
3. Other Procedures
- Corneal Strengthening
- 300,000 KRW (300000)
- After LASIK or LASEK surgery, riboflavin (vitamin B2) VibeX solution is applied to the corneal stroma and exposed to UV light, causing cross-linking of the corneal collagen, which strengthens the corneal tissue.
- Corneal Cross-Linking Surgery
- 800,000 KRW (800000)
- Recommended for those with high myopia, thin corneas, keratoconus, or those who need LASIK/LASEK re-correction, this surgery prevents corneal weakening and regression, maintaining stable eye condition.
- PRP Autologous Serum Eye Drops
- 150,000 KRW (150000)
- Promotes rapid healing of the corneal epithelium through immune components tailored to the individual, reducing post-surgery pain and inflammation, and facilitating quicker recovery to normal vision.
- Punctal Occlusion
- 150,000 KRW (150000)
- A simple, painless procedure that blocks tear ducts to reduce tear loss, helping maintain moisture in the eyes with natural tears rather than artificial tears post-surgery.
- IPL Laser (Meibomian Gland) Treatment
- 150,000 KRW (150000)
- Focused laser treatment to activate blocked Meibomian glands, preventing dry eyes and alleviating symptoms by protecting the tear film.
- Acu-Target examination
- 300,000 KRW (300000)
- By using the AcuTarget examination to align with the true visual axis (Purkinje center), you can achieve more precise correction, avoiding reliance on the virtual visual axis
SMILE LASIK
| Details | - Compared to traditional LASIK surgery, this safe surgical method corrects vision with a micro-incision of approximately 2mm, which is about 1/10th the size of the incision needed for vision correction in LASIK. This method does not require the removal of the corneal epithelium or the creation of a corneal flap.
|
| Why we recommend it | - Pain-free and rapid vision recovery
- Low risk of corneal opacity and regression
- Resistant to external shocks
- Suitable for patients with thin corneas or high myopia
- Achieves higher quality vision through precise visual axis analysis using AcuTarget optical axis analysis equipment.

Follow-up visits
| - Follow-up visits are required one day, one week, and four weeks after the surgery. (*After four weeks, you only need to check your vision and intraocular pressure, which can be done at a local eye clinic after returning home.)

Recovery
| - From the day after the surgery, you can wash your face, shower, and resume light daily activities. (Normal activities, including exercise, can be resumed after one week.)
|
After care

|
After effects
| - Vision correction (myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia)
|
| Recommended for | - For those who want to quickly return to their daily lives
- For people with severe dry eye
- For those concerned about side effects such as dry eye and keratoconus
- For those who want pain-free and quick recovery
- For those who want to protect their eyes from external impacts and irritations

- For those who want to minimize the side effects of increased intraocular pressure due to steroid use
|
| Things to keep in mind | - There will be pain on the day of surgery, and driving is not allowed.
- Washing your face and applying skincare products can be done the day after surgery, while eye makeup can be applied after one week.
- Light jogging, fitness activities, and yoga can be resumed the next day, but intense exercise should wait until one week after surgery.
- The recommended timing for resuming exercise may vary depending on the individual's recovery speed and eye condition.
