LASIK eye surgery!!

I did a lot of research before choosing to go to a clinic in South Korea for LASIK. Friends around me had undergone similar procedures in Taiwan and South Korea; after comparing, I found that South Korea is quite advanced in LASIK technology, equipment updates, and clinical experience, so I ultimately decided to go there in person to try it. Overall, I am very satisfied with the surgical experience, and it left me with a very good impression of South Korea medical care.

First, as soon as you enter the clinic you can feel that the overall environment is very professional and organized. From the front desk reception, pre-operative examination, to the doctor consultation, every step is arranged in an orderly way so you don’t feel rushed. The clinic interior is clean and bright, the equipment looks new, which also gives you extra reassurance about the upcoming surgery.
The pre-operative examination was extremely thorough and comprehensive, not a rushed routine check. They evaluated many details such as cornea thickness, eye pressure, retina condition, and pupil size. Although it took longer, that carefulness ensured whether I was a good candidate for laser vision correction and which surgical method to choose. Throughout the examination process, the staff were very patient, always reminded me what the next step was, and paid attention to my condition, which made me feel well cared for.
The doctor's professionalism made me feel very confident! During the consultation, the doctor did not rush to recommend surgery; instead, they first explained my eye condition in detail, the surgical options that were suitable, the potential risks, and postoperative recovery. The explanations were very clear and well-organized, so even someone without a medical background could understand. The doctor was also very willing to answer questions and didn’t make me feel pressured, allowing me to make a decision only after fully understanding everything — this left a very strong impression on me.
Because of the language difference, my biggest concern was communication, but the clinic's translator was extremely professional and friendly. They didn’t just translate word for word; they explained the doctor's professional explanations in an easy-to-understand way and proactively checked that I really understood. Whenever I had questions, the translator patiently assisted me, so I didn’t have to worry about language barriers at all. The entire process was very smooth.

When it was time for the surgery (I had it done the same day; I had already had an examination in Taiwan confirming I could proceed), I was still a little nervous, but the medical staff held my hand and led me in, and their attentiveness and reassurance helped me relax a lot. Before the surgery they reconfirmed my information and the procedure to make sure nothing was overlooked. After entering the operating room, the doctor explained step by step what would be done next and reminded me of the key points to watch for; the whole process was much faster than I expected and there was almost no discomfort. As long as you follow the doctor’s instructions and stay relaxed, there’s really no need to be too afraid.
Right after the operation, vision was still a bit blurry, but there was no severe pain—only slight discomfort, which was within an acceptable range. The clinic staff also very carefully explained the post‑operative precautions, including medication schedules, rest methods, and which activities to avoid. These instructions were all very clear; as long as you follow the doctor’s and clinic’s directions, you can recover with peace of mind!
It hurt so much at night that I could only eat fried chicken (huh)
You can happily go have a hamburger the morning before your follow-up visit the next day (just kidding)
I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my recovery progressed after the procedure. My vision improved faster than expected; there was some discomfort on the day of and the day after, but my daily life was hardly affected. When I returned the next morning for the follow-up examination, the doctor carefully checked my recovery to ensure my eyes were stable. I could feel the clinic’s attentiveness to the patient, not just a lack of concern once the surgery was over.
Overall, the experience of having my myopia laser surgery at a clinic in South Korea was truly worthwhile. The professional doctor, attentive translator, and careful medical team, along with thorough pre- and post-operative care, all made me feel safe and reassured. The improvement in my post-operative vision has greatly enhanced my quality of life, making work and everyday activities much more convenient.
If someone is considering LASIK but feels hesitant about overseas medical care, I would sincerely recommend considering South Korea for its professional clinics. As long as you choose the right medical team and carefully follow your doctor's instructions for post-operative care, the overall experience can be excellent, and you can confidently welcome a clearer world ❤️🩹
