I had SMILE performed. Absolutely no down time, was out and about 20mins after procedure with 20/20 vision albeit a bit hazy. Haziness decreased over the next weeks. The procedure was painless and I found it quite interesting. Surgeon talks you through the procedure and was quite calming. It took approx 5mins per eye. The organization is very professional, I believe they have the latest equipment. Staff are excellent and helpful.

I received lasik back in March. My time at BGN was really great. The staff is super nice and super helpful. I can message at any time and get a response quickly. If you ever want to get your eyes fix I really recommend going to BGN in Busan.

I had a wonderful experience at BGN in Busan. The surgery was painless and much quicker than I imagined, and I had someone showing me around the clinic and translating the whole time. I’d definitely recommend getting the surgery here! Thanks, Eileen, especially! (:

I had the relex smile LASIK surgery about a week ago at BGN Busan. The procedure was not painful, only take 15-20 minute on both eyes. The doctor specialist who performed the surgery, He calmly directed me through the entire procedure. I didn't feel scared during operation. The results are great! I have 20/20 vision now. Furthermore, I give 5/5 rating for kakao talk/email responsiveness after surgery. You are taking excellent care of me !! Thank you so much BGN Busan.

Highly Recommended Eye Hospital in Busan !!
I visited an eye hospital located right next to Buam Station Exit 2 (very close to Seomyeon), and I was truly impressed. The building is modern and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in.
During my consultation, they clearly explained all the available laser eye surgery options: SMILE PRO, SMILE, LASIK, and LASEK. I was most interested in SMILE, which offers minimal downtime — perfect for someone with a busy schedule!
One of the best things about this hospital is that they have English-speaking translator staff, which I couldn’t find at other clinics in Busan. They explained every step in great detail, making me feel very comfortable and informed.
Before the surgery, they conduct a series of thorough eye examinations, and I had a chance to meet the doctor to ensure everything was okay. The entire process felt very professional and well-organized.
If you’re considering vision correction surgery in Korea, I highly recommend this hospital — from the location to the service, everything exceeded my expectations. 💯

After around 15 years of wearing glasses, I chose to go for LASIK surgery. I heard from my friend about this hospital and did the surgery last week. Now my vision starting to get better. I already can see clearly a few hours after surgery and it's worth it! They also provided English translator for foreigners. She did a great job. She explained everything very detail. On the day of surgery, she also guided me until finished. No pain at all during the surgery. The doctors and staff are all very professional. Very recommended place to correct your vision.
