Imagine waking up with crystal-clear vision—no glasses, no contact lenses, just clarity. That dream becomes reality for millions through LASIK eye surgery, one of the most trusted and effective procedures in modern vision correction. In Korea, renowned for its world-class ophthalmic technology and patient-centered care, LASIK is performed with advanced techniques and unmatched precision.
Whether you’re nearsighted, farsighted, or struggling with astigmatism, LASIK offers a fast, safe, and life-changing solution tailored to your eyes.
What Is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a minimally invasive laser procedure that reshapes the cornea—the clear front part of your eye—so that light entering the eye is properly focused onto the retina. The result: dramatically improved vision, often eliminating the need for corrective eyewear.
How LASIK Works
- Creation of a Corneal Flap: A thin flap is made on the cornea using a femtosecond laser.
- Reshaping the Cornea: An excimer laser gently removes microscopic layers of tissue to correct refractive errors.
- Flap Repositioning: The flap is placed back into position, where it naturally adheres without stitches.
Conditions Treated with LASIK
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Clear up close, blurry far away
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Clear far away, blurry up close
- Astigmatism: Distorted or blurred vision at all distances

4. Post-Operative Care

Am I a Candidate for LASIK?
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
- Are 18+ years old
- Have a stable eye prescription for at least one year

LASIK vs Other Laser Vision Procedures
