Now, my vision is considered perfect by local standards, and I'm feeling better than expected

The coordinator was always in touch and handled all communication with the clinic, so I didn't have to spend my own time or energy organizing anything. It made the whole experience easy, even when I had to reschedule my appointment several times. The clinic itself was extremely professional and modern, with state-of-the-art equipment and specialists who speak English. I had the SMILE procedure on one eye to correct a lifetime of astigmatism and worsening vision. Now, my vision is considered perfect by local standards, and I'm feeling better than expected. The clinic has stayed in touch since the surgery. My advice is simple: just come to the clinic and trust the professionals. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance; just show up.

The coordinator was always in touch and handled all communication with the clinic, so I didn’t have to spend my own time, energy, or effort on organizing anything. It made the whole experience incredibly easy and stress-free. I had to reschedule my appointment several times, and thanks to the coordinator, everything was arranged smoothly each time. The clinic itself exceeded all my expectations. Everything was extremely professional, modern, and aesthetically beautiful. The equipment is state-of-the-art, and the specialists are highly qualified and speak English, which made communication very comfortable. I had lived with astigmatism and worsening vision my entire life, and now, according to Korean standards, my vision is considered perfect. I’m incredibly happy with the result. I’m very grateful for the entire experience and would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone who is planning to improve their vision.

I can genuinely say my eyes look perfectly matched

My main worry before the lateral canthoplasty was asymmetry, knowing how delicate the procedure is, but I can genuinely say my eyes look perfectly matched. It's such a relief. The surgeon and the entire staff provided wonderful care from start to finish. While I'm still in the early stages of healing, the shape is already very close to my goal. The recovery has been manageable. The biggest challenge has been sleeping upright, but that's a small thing compared to the results. I'm so glad I chose this clinic for my procedure and feel very looked after.

Rude staff. And the trip turned out to be in vain. So much time, effort and money was spent. Documents were preliminarily sent, and extracts available at that time, treatment passed, etc. They invited me to the examination and obtain a preliminary treatment plan, although it was clear to the provided procurers that treatment was impossible. They did the same thing that they had sent earlier, shrugged their hands and said Excuse me, we can’t help ...
