Discover the Best ReLEx SMILE eye surgery Clinics: 5 Verified Options and Prices
South Korea is one of the primary destinations for vision correction surgeries. BGN is one of the best eye clinics in Korea due to the high-quality level of equipment. ReLEX SMILE surgery is performed in this clinic. BGN is among several medical facilities worldwide that offer this innovative technique of vision correction.
Pay attention that the BGN doctors provide the ReLEx SMILE cost per both eyes. The starting price is stated above. The eye drops are necessary after the surgery, so you pay for them additionally. A patient needs to stay at Busan for a week, but BGN provides in-hotel stay only per night.
The examination of vision before and after the surgery is included into the SMILE laser eye surgery cost. However, each patient has to undergo complete eye screening before the surgery. You may undergo all necessary tests in your native country or at BGN for a couple of days before the surgery. These diagnostic tests are not included in the final ReLEx SMILE price.
BGN is a well-known Korean vision center among international patients due to excellent services, affordable prices, and seasonal discounts. BGN ophthalmologists perform over 300,000 eye surgeries every year.
