Hello everyone, I’m a traveler who just returned from Korea. This time I want to share with you a life-changing experience — undergoing SMILE Pro myopia laser surgery at Gangnam Myeongmo Eye Clinic in Seoul.
If you, like me, rely on glasses or contact lenses long-term and the first thing you do every morning is 'look for your glasses,' then you will definitely understand this desire for freedom.
☝️This is the Smile Pro treatment category
✨ Why choose Korea, why choose Myeongmo Eye Clinic?
South Korea's myopia laser technology has long been at the forefront of the world, especially SMILE Pro (SMILE 2.0), which is the latest generation of minimally invasive surgery.
After comparing several hospitals, I ultimately chose Myungmok Eye Center located in Gangnam.
The reason is simple — professional, attentive, highly rated, and also provides translation services for foreigners.
The surgery cost was about 4.4 million KRW (about TWD 90,000+), using the high-end SMILE Pro model, and after the actual experience, I felt this investment was very worthwhile.
👩⚕️ On the day of the surgery: nervous but smooth, a life changed in just minutes
To be honest, I was a little nervous before going into the operating room, but the whole process was much easier than I expected.
The whole procedure takes about ten minutes and there is no pain, only a brief feeling of pressure.
After the operation the doctor checked me right away, confirmed everything was stable, and the whole team's process was very professional and meticulous.
Mingmu Eye Clinic doesn't feel like a cold hospital; it feels more like a five-star clinic.
Everyone will carefully explain the preoperative and postoperative details you should pay attention to, which makes you feel very reassured.
👀 Postoperative recovery: quick, steady, and virtually no discomfort
My vision changed noticeably on the day of the surgery, and when I woke up the next morning the world looked 'brighter.'
By the third day I was able to use the computer normally for work, with almost no dryness or stinging.
Around the fifth day there may occasionally be a bit of a 'hazy' feeling, like a thin fog on the lens, but the doctor explained this is a natural phenomenon during nerve recovery.
I follow the doctor's orders obediently every day:
Use artificial tears three times a day
This was provided by the hospital and given by reviewers
I bought three or four different brands in Taiwan and this one is still the best!
If their hospital sells it, I suggest buying a few extra boxes.
Don't rub your eyes
Reduce time spent on your phone
Get enough sleep
The effect is really good.
And when looking at the lights at night, there is almost no halo — this was even more pleasantly surprising than I expected!
💧 Postoperative care & gifts
Mingmu Eye Clinic is really thoughtful; after surgery they also provide a complete set of eye drops,
After completing the questionnaire you will also receive two extra boxes of artificial tears (two boxes are also provided after the procedure),
That's equal to a total of four boxes, more than enough to cover use during the early recovery period.
This is the eye drops to be instilled every morning, noon, evening, and before bedtime.
💬 Summary: Recovering vision is not just about clarity, it's about quality of life
After having SMILE Pro done, my biggest feeling is —
'Life without glasses is really convenient!'
Whether it's getting up in the morning, exercising, taking photos, or traveling,
Everyone feels life has become easier and brighter.
This experience made me deeply feel:
'Laser treatment isn't a luxury, it's a lifestyle upgrade.'
If you are also considering getting SMILE Pro in Korea,
I really recommend first consulting at Gangnam Myeongmo Eye Clinic to take a look,
It's more reassuring to understand your eye condition before making a decision.

Remember to set your phone’s font size to the largest before the procedure!
After returning home I checked the medical certificate, which clearly listed the issue, because during the examination they discovered a minor problem with my retina and I need to continue the tests in Taiwan.
