It’s a factory-style clinic, but I’m very satisfied. In the waiting room before surgery, 3 to 5 people were called in order and went into the operating room one by one to have surgery. I think all 3 to 5 of us had numbing eye drops put in and waited, and when that medicine was put in, everything became blurry and hard to see, so the nurses helped us and guided us to lie down on the operating table. The surgery isn’t difficult if you study the contents of the surgery video that the clinic shows you in advance. Even though you are anesthetized, you can feel the doctor pulling out the corneal stroma (?) with forceps. For about 20 minutes after it ends, there is no pain because of the anesthetic, but after about 30 minutes the effect starts to wear off and it becomes extremely, extremely, extremely painful, so I recommend buying Tylenol from the pharmacy on the lower floor and taking one tablet right after the surgery... I cried only because it hurt so much after the surgery, and from the evening of that day the pain eased and I was able to go about daily life. My vision was 0.1 in the left eye and 0.1 in the right eye, and now both eyes are fixed at 1.0.
