As soon as I turned 20, I had LASEK plus corneal strengthening at the hospital in Uijeongbu that was said to be the most famous for vision correction. I had planned to go to Gangnam, but two acquaintances had surgery here and did well, so I also had it done locally with an acquaintance discount. I had considered LASIK, but they said my corneas had become thin because I rubbed my eyes a lot. The surgery finished quickly, and it hurt for about 3–4 days, but once the pain disappeared, it felt like the light of the world had returned. It has been about 3 years and 7 months since surgery, and I still visit once a year for checkups. My visual acuity is 1.2 / 1.5. I would definitely do it again. Highly recommended!
