After living for 17 years using only hard contact lenses and soft contact lenses,
I decided to get SMILE LASIK this time because I heard I could return to daily life in just one day.
While searching about SMILE LASIK, I found that ㅇㅅㅇㅇ Eye Clinic was famous,
so I scheduled same-day testing followed by surgery and went in.
It was my first time going there, so I was nervous and went straight up to the 12th floor.
When you first go, the tests alone take a little under an hour.
My corneal thickness was about 570, so even after the surgery, I would still have enough thickness to get LASEK one more time.
After completing all the tests, I had another consultation
about whether SMILE LASIK was possible, or if not, what other options would be possible.
Because I had an irregular cornea, the surgery proceeded after separate confirmation from Director ㄱㅈㅎ.
And even after correction, the amount of corneal ablation would still leave enough for one more LASEK procedure, so I felt even more at ease going into LASIK.
They say LASEK is possible one more time after SMILE LASIK ^^
But LASEK or LASIK cannot be done twice.
In the case of Director ㄱㅈㅎ, he also appears on YouTube and had such a good impression, so everything from the examination to the surgery felt very comfortable.
For the surgery, they put in several drops of anesthetic and I went in right away, and it was really over in an instant.
After the surgery, they told me it went well, so I went home with peace of mind. Once you come out after surgery, the world is really hazy and you can’t even see KakaoTalk on your phone. I barely managed to call a Kakao Taxi and got home.
After I got home, tears kept streaming until I fell asleep that evening, but I endured it while using the medication the hospital gave me.
The next day, when I opened my eyes, I could see faintly, and from two days later I could really live normally.
I’m now in week 2, and I’m still putting in artificial tears every two hours, but I’m living without major discomfort.
I definitely recommend SMILE LASIK to everyone too.
If you get it done, I recommend a hospital that introduced SMILE LASIK early and has abundant clinical experience if possible.
