LASIK & SMILE Pro in Korea: Our Journey from Hawaii

Deciding to Take the Step

We had always dreamed of perfect vision, but hesitation held us back. Between busy lives, questions about the procedure, and worries about cost, surgery felt out of reach for a long time.

Justin explains, “I’d always wanted LASIK, but I wasn’t sure which procedure was right for me or how it would be done. Price was also a factor.”

For me (Kalia), my prescription was stronger with astigmatism, and I often wondered if surgery would even be possible.

Justin says, “I still remember riding the subway home, realizing how quickly my vision was improving. It felt amazing.”
Kalia adds, “Every passing hour, I could notice the difference. It was so much easier than I expected.”

Finding the Right Clinic

Our turning point came when friends recommended BGN Eye Clinic in Korea. Their experience gave us confidence, and after reading reviews and even Reddit discussions, everything checked out.

Justin recalls, “The booking process was easy, the check-in was smooth, and BGN’s team guided me at every step — even while planning from the U.S.”

The Procedure

Justin : The laser took only 25–30 seconds per eye, and the entire procedure was finished in 5–10 minutes. He noticed his vision improving hour by hour.

Kalia : With prescriptions of -6.0 and -5.75 plus astigmatism, SMILE Pro was recommended. The treatment lasted just 5 minutes for both eyes, was painless, and the staff made the experience very comfortable.

Recovery and Results

Recovery was fast and surprisingly easy. We both had slight haziness right after, but it cleared within hours. By the next day, we could already see the world with new clarity.

Kalia adds, “Every passing hour, I could notice the difference. It was so much easier than I expected.”

Looking Back

This journey taught us the value of:

  • Researching carefully

  • Trusting experienced specialists

  • Choosing a clinic with strong communication and support

Even coming from overseas, we felt cared for and confident throughout the process. And most importantly, we finally achieved the clear vision we had always dreamed of.
