Real Patient Thanh Shares Her ICL Journey at BGN Eye Clinic

From Glasses to Freedom: Thanh's Vision Correction

Journey at BGN Eye Clinic

For Thanh, a 26-year-old investment analyst from Australia, life was always a little blurry — both figuratively and literally. After wearing glasses for over 20 years, she decided it was time for a permanent change. Her choice? Traveling to Korea for ICL surgery at BGN Eye Clinic — a decision that changed her everyday life.

“I’ve been wearing glasses since I was young. Whether I was diving, playing sports, or working in front of three screens — glasses always got in the way.”

The Struggles of Living with High Myopia

Thanh had a high prescription and had relied on glasses for decades. She describes how her vision problems weren’t just an inconvenience — they affected her productivity and her passion for an active lifestyle.

• Glasses fogged up or slipped during sports

• They caused fatigue during long hours of screen time

• Wearing them all day made her eyes feel tired and strained

“Even at work, I’m looking at multiple monitors all day. My eyes would hurt, and I’d feel drained. That’s when I knew I needed a change.”

Why BGN Eye Clinic?

Thanh’s decision was partly inspired by two of her cousins who had successful vision correction surgeries at BGN Eye Clinic.

“They said their vision became super clear, and the service was amazing. That gave me confidence.”

Still, Thanh had concerns — especially about undergoing surgery in a foreign country. She worried about:

• The language barrier

• Whether the surgery would be painful

• The possibility of side effects or infection

“But from the first exam, all my concerns disappeared. The staff spoke English, some even knew Vietnamese and Japanese, and they explained everything carefully.”

The Process: Exams, Consultation & Custom Plan

Before surgery, Thanh underwent 5 to 6 different diagnostic tests — all part of BGN’s thorough safety protocol. After her consultation, her doctor recommended ICL surgery due to her high prescription.

“They didn’t push anything. They explained why ICL was the safest and most effective option for me.”

She also received a minor laser treatment for a retinal issue — both procedures done smoothly in one place.

The Surgery & Recovery

To Thanh’s surprise, the procedure was quick and virtually painless.

“I thought it would hurt, but it didn’t at all. Just a bit of dizziness from the medication — but after that, it was fine.”

She began noticing vision improvement within an hour after surgery.

“After taking off the protective lens cover, I could see so clearly. The next day, I could read signs from far away. 90% of my vision was already better.”

Life After Surgery: Clearer, Easier, More Comfortable

Thanh now enjoys a life without glasses — and it’s transformed everything.

• Sports are easier and more enjoyable

• No more hunting for glasses every morning

• Less eye fatigue during computer work

• Greater confidence and independence

“Sometimes I still instinctively reach for my glasses in the morning. Then I realize — I don’t need them anymore. It feels amazing.”

Would She Recommend It?

“Absolutely. I’d recommend BGN Eye Clinic to anyone — especially overseas patients. The service is incredible, and the doctors are so professional and caring. They made sure everything was perfect.”

Thanh’s story is a reminder that vision correction is about more than just clearer eyesight — it’s about comfort, freedom, and regaining control of your life.
