Procedure on the day of surgery

Proceed to the consultation room to discuss the results and receive further medical advice regarding the surgery.
Move to the counseling room where you will receive a detailed explanation about the surgery and hear about precautions.
Return to the examination room for a final pre-surgical check (about 15 minutes).
Proceed to the surgery room where the vision correction surgery will take place (about 15~25 minutes).
After surgery, return to the consultation room to check the condition of your eyes.
Receive your prescription at the waiting area reception desk and listen to instructions about the medications.
Collect your medications from the pharmacy on the ground floor and then head home.
SMILE Eye Surgery Procedure
1) Surgical Method:
Compared to traditional LASIK surgery, this technique utilizes a much smaller corneal micro-incision of about 2mm, which is about 1/10 the size of the cuts used in traditional methods, enabling safe vision correction without the need to remove the corneal epithelium or create a corneal flap.
2) Advantages:
Pain-free with rapid vision recovery
Low possibility of corneal haze or regression
Resilience against external impacts, suitable for patients with thin corneas or high myopia
High-quality vision results through precise axis analysis using AcuTarget
3) Surgical Equipment: VisuMax
4) Surgical Duration: 10 to 15 minutes
5) Anesthesia Method: Topical anesthesia with eye drops
6) Post-Visit Treatment:
Follow-up visits are scheduled for the day after surgery, one week later, four weeks later, and three months later.
(After four weeks, only vision and eye pressure checks are needed, which can be done by a local ophthalmologist after returning home.)
7) Recovery Period:
One day; light daily activities such as face-washing and showering are possible from the next day, with normal activities including exercise resuming after a week.
8) Post-Surgical Care:
Eye drops are used as needed from two weeks to one month post-surgery.
Individuals concerned about complications such as dry eyes or keratoconus
Those who desire painless and quick recovery
Individuals who want protection from external impacts and irritation
Those concerned about corneal haze or degeneration
Individuals who prefer to avoid the discomfort of daily wear of protective eyewear or sunglasses
Those who want to minimize the side effects of increased eye pressure from steroid use
11) Precautions:
Do not drive on the day of surgery; go straight home, rest with your eyes closed, and apply artificial tears frequently to avoid dryness.
Avoid rubbing your eyes on the day of surgery and refrain from excessive movement of the eyeballs while your eyes are closed.
Take breaks during activities that may cause dry eyes (like using computers, reading) after surgery.
From the day after surgery, light face washing is possible; from the third day post-surgery, washing your hair is allowed but be careful to avoid getting water or soap suds in your eyes.
A week after surgery, activities such as wearing makeup, jogging, gym workouts, and swimming are allowed.

Once your reservation is confirmed, you can check the reservation status on My Page.
Before the examination, stop wearing soft contact lenses for 4 days and hard contact lenses for 2 weeks.
The examination will take approximately 2 hours. Since it will be difficult to drive afterward, please use public transportation.
During Surgery
On the day of surgery, please avoid using perfume, makeup, sunscreen, and BB cream. Only apply skin lotion.
If you have makeup on, you will need to wash your face at the hospital before the surgery.
Before the surgery, there will be a brief examination, medication instructions, and a post-surgery consultation, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours in total.
The actual surgery time varies slightly depending on the method, but it typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
If you undergo surgery on the day of the examination, it will take approximately 3 hours for the examination, consultation, and surgery.
The type of surgery you'll undergo may change based on the condition of your eyes.
Since the surgery will be performed while lying on a laser bed, please choose comfortable clothing especially around the neck area (avoid wearing hoodies etc).
