From Concerns to Confidence: Arakin’s SMILE Pro Journey at BGN Eye Clinic

When Arakin, a 25-year-old from Australia, decided to have eye surgery, he had more than a few concerns. Having lived with sensitive eyes that made wearing contact lenses impossible, he worried about possible side effects, long-term issues, and even the simple fear of blinking during the procedure.

When Arakin, a 25-year-old from Australia, decided to have eye surgery, he had more than a few concerns. Having lived with sensitive eyes that made wearing contact lenses impossible, he worried about possible side effects, long-term issues, and even the simple fear of blinking during the procedure.

After doing his research online, Arakin flew to Korea and visited BGN Eye Clinic. Before recommending surgery, our doctors performed a comprehensive series of eye tests—both standard and specialized—to assess every factor that could affect his candidacy. He was impressed by how thorough the examination was, and appreciated that the team explained the results clearly in English, with translation support when needed.

During the consultation, we discovered a slight scratch on his cornea, which we showed him on-screen. This attention to detail reassured him that he was in capable hands. In the end, the tests confirmed he was suitable for all types of vision correction surgery, and together we decided on SMILE Pro, the most advanced method with fast recovery and minimal suction time, performed on the world-class VisuMax 800.

Although Arakin initially feared the surgery, he was surprised by how quick and smooth it was—only about 8 seconds per eye. “I wouldn’t say it was painful, but it was intense,” he recalled. The procedure was over before he had time to worry, and his fear of blinking turned out to be unnecessary thanks to the precision of the equipment and the expertise of the surgeons.

Now, just a short time after the operation, Arakin is enjoying clear vision without glasses or contact lenses. His journey is a testament to how advanced technology and attentive care can transform anxiety into confidence.

If you’ve been hesitating about vision correction due to fears or sensitive eyes, Arakin’s story proves that with the right clinic and the right technology, those worries can become a thing of the past.
