At the point when my life with contact lenses had passed 16 years, I was scared. Would my eyes go blind? Is it okay to keep living like this? After thinking and thinking, I decided on SMILE LASIK. I wasn’t scared of other surgeries, but I don’t know why eye surgery scared me so much. After looking for a clinic in the most convenient location from work and home, and researching hard, I chose SNU Eye Clinic. My criteria were as follows. - Thorough examination process (they do a very wide variety of detailed tests) - Equipment - The condition that I could choose the doctor (not automatic assignment) - Close to the subway station (Sinsa Station) - Clean facilities I took a half day off and went through the checkup, and after the checkup I had some time, so I wore glasses even more diligently. (With a firm will to never wear glasses again) The surgery was carried out so comfortably under Dr. Shin Dong-hoon’s guidance. I was scared, but after deep breathing, one eye at a time, his calm voice probably gave me about 80% of my sense of stability. The only things I could focus on were the doctor’s voice and the light in front of my eyes. After enough time to listen to one or two songs passed, the surgical result was perfect. The thought, “So this is why people regret not doing it sooner!” took over my mind. Even now, more than a month later, I’m so happy. For about 2 weeks after surgery, I was dominated by the feeling that I had slept with contact lenses in. I don’t know why, but maybe it felt stronger because I had worn lenses for 16 years. SMILE LASIK is really something you should make time for when you can and when the timing works!!! Time and money absolutely won’t betray you. Director Shin Dong-hoon’s skill goes without saying.
