I had LASEK in 2013. It was an ophthalmology clinic in Ilsan that was well known and also had inpatient wards, and I was treated by the chief director. I got a bit of a staff discount, so it was relatively cheap at the time. I already had dry eyes + glare, and my vision was 0.3 with very severe astigmatism and myopia, so when I took off my glasses I looked like an egg ghost, and I also had terrible migraines. After LASEK, my migraines mostly went away and I feel much better. They said both eyes would be 1.0 after LASEK, but I got 1.2 and it has held up well so far. My dry eyes are still there, and the glare is about the same. But even if I were born again, I would get LASEK again.
