At THE Plastic Surgery (THE PS) in Seoul, patients receive cutting-edge LASIK treatment performed by experienced ophthalmologists using the latest laser technology, ensuring precise, safe, and lasting vision correction.
What Is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK is a minimally invasive laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as:
- Myopia (nearsightedness)
- Hyperopia (farsightedness)
- Astigmatism
By reshaping the cornea, LASIK improves the eye’s focusing ability, resulting in clearer vision without the need for glasses or contacts.

How Does LASIK Surgery Work?
- Preoperative Assessment:
Detailed eye examinations and measurements to design a customized treatment plan. - Corneal Flap Creation:
A thin flap on the cornea is created using a femtosecond laser, which is gently lifted to expose the corneal tissue. - Laser Reshaping:
An excimer laser reshapes the cornea by removing microscopic layers to correct the refractive error. - Flap Repositioning:
The corneal flap is carefully repositioned, adhering naturally without stitches. - Postoperative Care:
Protective eye shields and lubricating drops are prescribed, with follow-up visits to monitor healing and visual progress.
