✨ What makes “GS Eye Clinic” different, as recommended by Creatrip
1. Over 20 years of clinical experience, plus One-Day Surgery
Since 2005, GS Eye Clinic has continuously provided care near Gangnam Station, building extensive clinical experience across a wide range of procedures, from vision correction to presbyopia and cataracts.
Depending on your test results and appointment schedule, the clinic offers a same-day surgery system where detailed exams, a specialist consultation, and surgery can all be completed in one day, making it easy for international visitors with short stays in Korea to plan efficiently.
2. Personalized care by comparing multiple surgical options
Because everyone differs in the degree of myopia and astigmatism, corneal thickness and shape, dry-eye condition, and even occupation and lifestyle habits, the same procedure is not suitable for every patient.
GS Eye Clinic is equipped with a variety of diagnostic and surgical devices, and rather than recommending one procedure across the board, they suggest the most suitable surgical option based on your detailed exam results.
3. A wider range of choices with diverse surgical equipment
Since vision correction procedures vary by device in terms of technique and features, choosing the right equipment and procedure for your eye condition is important.
GS Eye Clinic offers not only ZEISS SMILE/SMILE Pro, but also SILK LASIK using Johnson & Johnson’s ELITA, as well as lens implantation surgery and other options.
Because you are not limited to a single method and can compare multiple options based on detailed exam results, you can create a surgical plan that fits your corneal condition, level of myopia and astigmatism, and lifestyle habits.
4. An eye clinic chosen by K-pop stars and celebrities
GS Eye Clinic is an eye clinic chosen by various K-pop artists and celebrities, including Cha Eun-woo, IVE’s An Yujin, Liz, and Leeseo, Stray Kids, and Monsta X.
The choices of well-known public figures are a key trust factor that reflects the clinic’s extensive clinical experience and expertise.
Even international visitors who need to choose a hospital in an unfamiliar country can feel more at ease receiving consultations and exams.
5. Dedicated support for international patients
When getting surgery overseas, it is important to clearly understand your test results, the recommended procedure, and post-op precautions.
GS Eye Clinic provides dedicated consultations and guidance so international patients can smoothly proceed from booking to detailed exams, specialist consultation, surgery, and aftercare.
👁️ Main Surgery Types and Detailed Guide
[Image Slider] 
(1) SMILE Pro
SMILE Pro is a minimally invasive vision correction procedure that removes a lenticule from within the cornea through a small incision, without creating a corneal flap.
GS Eye Clinic uses the ZEISS VISUMAX 800, and with a short laser exposure of about 9 seconds per eye, it helps reduce the burden of having to keep your eye fixed.
With the OcuLign and CentraLign features, it can check subtle eye rotation and centration, helping correct myopia and astigmatism more precisely.
It is recommended for office workers or students who need a quick recovery, those who want to correct both myopia and astigmatism, and those who want to reduce concerns about dry eyes or external impact.
(2) SMILE
SMILE is a procedure that corrects vision through a small incision of about 2mm, without removing the corneal epithelium or creating a corneal flap.
GS Eye Clinic is equipped with two ZEISS VISUMAX 500 units and the AcuTarget visual axis analysis device.
By precisely analyzing each patient’s visual axis to set the surgical center, it corrects myopia and astigmatism while preserving the corneal surface as much as possible.
Because recovery is fast and it is relatively resistant to external impact, it may be suitable for those who do a lot of sports or outdoor activities, or who need to return to daily life quickly.
(3) SILK LASIK
SILK LASIK is a minimally invasive vision correction procedure that uses &Johnson & Johnson’s ELITA system.
Using a precise, low-energy laser, it creates a biconvex-shaped lenticule and then removes it through a small incision.
It is characterized by forming a smooth lenticule surface, and the surgery can be designed to match a wide range of corneal curvatures and prescriptions.
It can be an option for those with relatively large pupils, those who want precise correction even with a low prescription, and those who want to reduce concerns about dry eyes and corneal irritation.
(4) LASIK / 2day LASEK (PRK)
LASIK
This vision correction procedure creates a corneal flap, uses a laser to correct myopia and astigmatism, then places the flap back in position. It generally involves relatively less discomfort and offers fast visual recovery.
- Equipment: ZEISS VISUMAX 500
- Recovery: Light daily activities are typically possible starting the day after surgery
- Recommended for: Those with sufficient corneal thickness who want quick visual recovery and a fast return to daily life
2day LASEK (PRK)
This procedure removes the corneal epithelium without creating a corneal flap, then uses a laser to correct myopia and astigmatism. It is strong against external impact, and depending on exam results, it may be considered even for relatively thin corneas.
- Equipment: SCHWIND AMARIS RED 1050RS
- Recovery: Light daily activities are possible after about 4 days, time to stable vision varies by individual
- Recommended for: Those with relatively thin corneas, or those with a higher chance of external impact, such as athletes or military personnel
(5) Implantable Lens Surgery (ICL) + Toric
This procedure corrects both myopia and astigmatism by inserting a special lens with astigmatism correction into the eye, without reshaping the cornea.
- Lens used: A toric ICL lens suited to the individual’s eye condition
- Recovery: Light daily activities are typically possible starting the day after surgery
- Recommended for: Those with both high myopia and high astigmatism, those with thin corneas, or those who are not good candidates for laser vision correction
(6) Implantable Lens Surgery (ICL) + Non-Toric
This procedure corrects myopia by inserting a standard ICL lens without astigmatism correction, without reshaping the cornea.
- Lens used: EVO+ ICL, KPL, GLAZE, etc.
- Recovery: Light daily activities are typically possible starting the day after surgery
- Recommended for: Patients with high myopia with no or relatively low astigmatism, and those who want to correct vision while preserving the cornea
(7) Presbyopia/Cataract Standard
This procedure removes the clouded natural lens and replaces it with a monofocal intraocular lens that focuses at one distance.
- Equipment and lens: FEMTO LDV Z8 and a monofocal intraocular lens
- Effect: Improves blurry vision caused by cataracts and corrects primary vision for either distance or near
- Recommended for: Those who need cataract treatment and want clear vision mainly at one frequently used distance
(8) Presbyopia/Cataract Premium
This procedure removes the clouded natural lens and replaces it with a premium intraocular lens, such as multifocal, extended depth-of-focus, or astigmatism-correcting lenses.
- Equipment and lens: FEMTO LDV Z8 and a premium intraocular lens suited to the individual’s eye condition
- Effect: Along with cataract treatment, it may help improve distance, intermediate, and near vision
- Recommended for: Those who want to improve both cataracts and presbyopia, or reduce dependence on glasses after surgery
