LASIK

One-Day LASIK

LASIK (Laser in situ keratomileusis)

LASIK is currently the most widely performed procedure worldwide, and is a laser vision correction procedure with the highest safety and predictability of results. LASIK is a vision correction procedure in which a thin flap (corneal flap) including the corneal epithelium and part of the stroma is created and lifted, the corneal stroma is corrected with laser treatment, and the corneal flap is then repositioned. There is little pain and corneal haze, and vision recovers quickly, allowing a return to daily activities from the following day. Enjoy clear vision with Gangnam St. Mary's One Eye Clinic's surgical method, which combines the benefits and safety best suited to each patient's eye characteristics to deliver highly satisfying results.
