I’m a mother of two who has lived for 34 years wearing only glasses because of high myopia and astigmatism. In winter, my glasses would fog up, and I tried contact lenses several times, but it was hard to find lenses that suited me. Wearing contacts makes your eyes feel dry, scratchy, and uncomfortable, and people who wear glasses with dry-eye symptoms will all know that pain, right? My older sister is a specialist, and she recommended the director, so I had my examination and surgery on the same day. I had already been examined at another eye clinic in Gangnam, and even though it was the same toric lens, the one at SNU Eye Clinic was a toric ICL made of a safe material approved by the U.S. FDA, while the other hospital used a toric ECO lens that had not been approved by the U.S. A separate certificate is also issued. Most of all, my older sister is a doctor, and she recommended him, so I came to trust the director. The director is famous to begin with, And I think the examination took about 2 hours. The surgery itself took less than 10 minutes for both eyes. After surgery, I recovered in the recovery room for 1 hour, and then the director checked my intraocular pressure again. If everything was fine, I went home. At first, because of the dilating drops, everything looked blurry in front of me.. Wow... I really found it amazing that the world could look this bright and clear without glasses. There was a halo effect and glare, but my vision was so good that I stopped caring about it. I had been putting it off because of worries about side effects, fear, and all sorts of other things, but I feel 500,000% that I made the right choice. It’s really the best. Pain differs from person to person, but for me it was just a bit sore? Today is the second day, and the pain is barely there, if at all? It’s truly a new world haha For a while I’m going to wear sunglasses when I go out. From now on, I’m going to take good care of and protect my eyes. I absolutely recommend lens implantation surgery. The manager and the hospital staff were also kind, and the director explained things gently and handled everything calmly, so I think I was able to get it done without being tense. Thank you.
