I had only heard that there were two well-known SMILE eye surgery clinics in Incheon, but the inconvenience of glasses became too much, so I went ahead with it. I think they told me not to wear contact lenses for more than two weeks beforehand, so after normally living only in contacts, I endured two weeks in glasses and went for the consultation. They did a huge number of tests, but did not explain in detail what any of them were for. Still, after the consultation, I heard the price with an acquaintance discount, paid immediately, scheduled the surgery right away, and that was it. On the day of surgery, people were going in all together in a big group, so I thought it really was factory-style. I knew that going in, but during surgery they pressed hard on my eye; it was an unfamiliar kind of pain, and while I was flustered, the procedure was already over. From that evening, I could gradually see well. I already had nighttime glare, so I worried it would worsen, but contrary to my concern, it is about the same as usual. In terms of dryness, my eyes actually feel more moisturized than when I wore contacts for a long time, so I hardly have any dryness. It has been a little over two months now, and I have recommended that friends around me who have not had it done get laser vision correction soon. If you will drive long distances at night, the optician at the optical shop I go to told me to have separate glasses made and wear them (the optician also had laser vision correction), and I get regular checkups according to the hospital text messages. Anyway, highly recommend!
