SMILE Pro Laser Eye Surgery in Korea – Why BGN Eye Clinic Is the #1 Choice

Looking for the best laser eye surgery in Seoul, South Korea? Discover why thousands of international patients choose BGN Eye Clinic for SMILE Pro vision correction—the most advanced, painless, and flap-free laser eye procedure using ZEISS VisuMax 800.

The Beginning of Refractive Surgery

Laser vision correction began in the late 1980s with PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), followed by LASIK in the 1990s. LASIK quickly became the gold standard because of its faster recovery and less discomfort. However, it involved creating a flap in the cornea, which carried a small risk of complications and long-term dryness.

What Is SMILE Pro Eye Surgery?

SMILE Pro (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction – Pro) is the newest, most advanced laser vision correction in Korea, available exclusively with the Zeiss VisuMax 800 laser system. Unlike LASIK, SMILE Pro surgery is a flapless eye surgery that only uses a 2mm incision—making it safer and more comfortable.

• Best alternative to LASIK for dry eyes

• Fastest laser time in the world (<10 sec)

• No flap = No complications
