What is BGN SMILE Pro?

Data-based state-of-the-art SMILE LASIK equipment
Surgery available at only 25 locations nationwide (Introduced at both Jamsil and Busan branches)
'BGN Eye Clinic's Pioneering Domestic Introduction'

SMILE Pro, the most advanced vision correction equipment as of 2025,
was first introduced in Korea by BGN Eye Clinic in 2023, performing numerous vision corrections as a designated clinic.

While VisuMax SMILE corrects vision by minimally incising the cornea,
SMILE Pro takes this a step further by shortening surgery time and increasing precision.

SMILE Pro's Overwhelming Technology

SMILE Pro's laser irradiation time is within 10 seconds.
SMILE Pro adds speed to innovation,
we'll explain the limitless technology in detail.

  • Technology 01

    10-Second Laser Irradiation Time

    Achieved through proprietary ultra-precision
    scanning technology, approximately
    2.7 times faster than conventional
    SMILE LASIK surgery.

    Effects

    · Minimized infection risk during surgery
    · Minimized suction loss (eye fixation system release)
    · Minimized corneal damage - strong effect against dry eyes
    · Shortened recovery time

  • Technology 02

    Micro Eye Movement Prediction

    CentraLign accurately detects
    eye movements and automatically
    centers the eye.

    Effects

    · Error-free surgery possible, RESTART mode
    · Faster surgery possible, quicker recovery than conventional SMILE LASIK
    · Treatment results lead to faster vision clarity

  • Technology 03

    Astigmatism Axis Rotation Correction

    OcuLign enables astigmatism axis
    rotation correction.

    Effects

    · 

    High astigmatism patients who previously
    required only lens implant surgery can now
    have SMILE LASIK Pro surgery

Can surgery be performed with high astigmatism?
BGN SMILE Pro makes it possible.

SMILE Pro vision correction surgery is now possible
even for patients with high astigmatism who previously required only lens implant surgery.

Vision Correction Surgery at a Glance

SMILE Pro, which is among the more expensive vision correction surgeries,
we'll explain what differences it has.

  • 1st Generation

    • LASEK

    • advantage

      1. 1. Preserves more corneal tissue compared to LASIK
      2. 2. Highly resistant to external impacts

    • disadvantage

      1. 1. More pain compared to LASIK
      2. 2. Requires care until the corneal epithelium fully regenerates
      3. 3. Recovery may take several months
      4. 4. More sensitive to ultra-violet (UV) rays

    • retreatment availability

      1. 1. Retreatment is only possible with LASEK.

  • 2nd Generation

    • LASIK

    • advantage

      1. 1. Minimal pain and fast recovery
      2. 2. Quick return to daily life
      3. 3. Strong resistance to ultraviolet (UV) rays

    • disadvantage

      1. 1. Not suitable for patients with thin corneas, as a corneal flap cannot be created
      2. 2. Care is needed to avoid external impact immediately after surgery
      3. 3. Not recommended for patients with dry eye syndrome

    • retreatment availability

      1. 1. Depending on the remaining corneal thickness, retreatment can be performed with either LASIK or LASEK.

  • 3rd Generation

    • Lens implantation surgery

    • advantage

      1. 1. Minimal pain and fast recovery
      2. 2. Surgery can be reversed to pre‑operative status if desired
      3. 3. Suitable for patients with thin corneas
      4. 4. Can correct hyperopia (farsightedness)
      5. 5. Reduces side effects such as myopic regression, dry eye, and corneal opacity

    • disadvantage

      1. 1. Relatively high surgical cost
      2. 2. Possible occurrence of the “hole phenomenon” (seeing an O‑shaped glare or halo effect)

    • retreatment availability

      1. 1. Retreatment is only possible with lens implantation surgery.

  • 3rd Generation

    • VisuMax SMILE

    • advantage

      1. 1. Minimal pain and fast recovery
      2. 2. 2mm micro‑incision on the cornea – minimizes possible side effects (such as dry eye, glare, etc.)
      3. 3. Highly resistant to external impacts
      4. 4. Suitable for high myopia correction

    • disadvantage

      1. 1. Relatively high surgical cost

    • retreatment availability

      1. 1. Retreatment is only possible with LASEK.

  • Next generation surgery – available only at Sunjeong Eye Clinic.

    • SMILE PRO

    • advantage

      2. 2. Only a 2mm micro‑incision on the cornea – reduces possible complications
      3. 3. Surgery takes less than 10 seconds: improved visual clarity, faster recovery, and reduced psychological burden
      4. 4. Suitable for patients with high astigmatism or myopia
      5. 5. Eligible for those who were recommended lens implantation
      6. 6. Available for patients with dry eye syndrome

    • disadvantage

      1. 1. Relatively high surgical cost

    • retreatment availability

      1. 1. Retreatment is only possible with LASEK.
