About the clinic
ReLEx SMILE eye surgery at Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic in Seoul, South Korea, typically runs between $1,400 and $2,700 for both eyes. The clinic is the first official SCHWIND ATOS SMILE training institution in Korea, providing high expertise in flap-free vision correction.
Advanced SMILE Laser Technology
The clinic uses the SCHWIND ATOS femtosecond laser system for vision correction. This method creates a small tissue piece, called a lenticule, inside the cornea. The surgeon removes this piece through a tiny 2.0 mm micro-incision. Because there is no corneal flap, the eye stays stronger and recovers faster than traditional LASIK. The 4 MHz laser speed uses low energy. This reduces heat damage to the surrounding eye tissue during the procedure.
Precision and Astigmatism Correction
The system features 7D eye tracking to follow eye movements in real-time. It includes cyclorotation correction to compensate for the way the eye rotates when a patient lies down. This is vital for fixing astigmatism accurately. The clinic also uses the SIRIUS wavefront analyzer. This device maps the eye to allow for a customized correction down to 1 micron. For patients with high astigmatism, the Nova SMILE Pro variant adds CenTraX technology for better centration after the laser connects to the eye.
Recovery and Patient Care
Patients usually return to their normal work and daily life the very next day. The micro-incision method helps avoid common side effects. It lowers the risk of dry eyes, nighttime glare, and blurry vision. Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic sees over 7,000 patients every year for vision and cataract needs. The facility holds accreditations from the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
Expert Medical Team
The medical team includes ophthalmologists affiliated with Yonsei University Severance Hospital. Dr. Seung-hun Lee and Dr. Seung-soo Han serve as representative directors. The Vision Correction Center is led by Dr. Jae-seung Jeong. These specialists focus on providing tailored laser treatments using the latest diagnostic tools.

I got vision correction surgery with Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic - Smile procedure in right eye and LASEK procedure in left eye. Honestly LOVED the experience with the clinic. The translation service with Michael helped me understand everything clearly. He summarized and explained at every step. The doctors, staff were kind and understanding. The doctor assigned to me guided me regarding the procedure in detail. The operation was very quick and recovery didn’t take that long. Finally, got rid of the glasses after 17 years. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I had my LASIK eye surgery here and had a great experience. The clinic was very professional and clean, and the staff made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I appreciated that they did multiple thorough checkups before the surgery, and I was even able to have the procedure done on the same day as my appointment. A translator was also provided, which made everything smooth and easy to understand. Highly recommend this clinic for anyone considering vision correction surgery!
The only regret I have , is not having it done sooner!♥️

I had the best experience with Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic! I was nervous about getting LASIK but they helped me feel a lot better with the ease of the whole process. My interpreter was the best and explained everything in detail. The entire process is very easy, thorough, yet streamlined. They explained my options based on my needs for my eyes and the surgery took no time at all. I got all my testing done and surgery the same day and as a busy mom that is a big plus. They gave me an adorable plushie to hold and even held my hand. I’m writing this a day later and my eyesight is already so much better! Everyone was kind and very helpful. The atmosphere is very nice there. 10 out of 10 experience in my book☺️
