Because it involved my eyes, I was scared, so I researched the clinic thoroughly before deciding. From the examination process to the machines, everything really was different. It felt like a factory and was packed with people, but I still trusted them. The reason was that the examination process was much more professional and thorough than at other clinics. My eyesight was so poor that I barely qualified for LASEK, so my expected vision was low (they said I would still need thin glasses after surgery), but even now, more than three years later, I am doing well without any major decline in vision. However, glare and halos get severe when I drive at night, so I wear glasses only then. I think this is a surgery that saves you the cost of contact lenses the sooner you do it.

Orthodontic Reviews@ortho-reviewOct 15 SMILE LASIK review
It has been about a year since I had SMILE LASIK. Maybe because I am in my 30s, recovery took a very long time. Immediately after surgery, my dry eye was severe, so my vision did not improve quickly at first and stayed around 0.6–0.8…
Orthodontic Reviews@ortho-reviewOct 15 A very old SMILE LASIK review
It has been more than eight years, I think, but anyway I had surgery with Dr. Jeong Yeong-taek at the time. SMILE LASIK was not common then, and I chose him because I heard he performed corneal transplants. I am currently living very…
Orthodontic Reviews@ortho-reviewOct 12 Six years after LASIK, I wear glasses ^^
Still, I have no regrets. My corneas are thick enough that I could do it once more. Even if I went back, I think I would do it again. I didn’t want to spend all of my twenties wearing glasses I didn’t want. The money, effort, and time…
