At first, I visited the famous ㅇㅇㅅ ophthalmology clinic in Gangnam that my friend said they had gone to, and had an eye exam.
I was told that my corneas were on the thick side, so I could even do LASEK twice, and it seemed like they set the surgery plan somewhat conservatively. I remember the price being extremely expensive. Basic Two-Day LASEK was 2.2 million won, and if you add the strengthening procedure, it was 570,000 won per eye... With genetic testing and medication costs included, it seemed to be around 3 million won...
While I was looking into other clinics because of the huge price, I heard that ㄱㄴㅇㅇㅅ ophthalmology clinic, newly opened by two directors, used the same machine, so I visited.
There, I was also told that my corneas were thick, so LASEK twice would be possible, and the expected corneal ablation amount was greater than at ㅇㅇㅅ.
But they were running an SNS review & video review event, so with the maximum discount they said I could do it for 1.2 million won, and they said things like genetic testing were not really necessary unless it was a truly unusual case. I liked that they did not pressure me into unnecessary tests.
So I went ahead right away at ㄱㄴㅇㅇㅅ ophthalmology clinic, and now, one year later, I am still using my eyes well and living without any discomfort...
I really wondered why I only did this now I finally understand the people who already had it done...
