What are the risks and potential side effects of LASIK surgery, how common are they, and what can be done to minimize complications during and after the procedure?
A year ago, I was exactly where you are researching LASIK, excited but nervous about the risks. Blurry vision, dry eyes, halos at night I had read about them all. But after months of hesitation, I finally took the leap at SNU Eye Clinic with Dr. Chung Eui Sang and I’m so glad I did.
Dr. Chung was incredibly detailed in explaining everything, ensuring I felt confident before the procedure. The surgery itself was painless and over in minutes. Within a day, my vision was crystal clear no more contacts, no more glasses.
I’d been wearing glasses for over 10 years and was tired of the hassle, especially while traveling or working out. After researching LASIK in Korea, I chose Dr. Chung Eui Sang at SNU Eye Clinic for his expertise and personalized care.
Dr. Chung explained the risks: temporary dry eyes, halos or glare at night, and mild irritation are common but usually short-lived. Rare risks include over- or under-correction, corneal flap issues, and long-term dry eye but with an experienced surgeon and proper follow-up, these are minimal.
My sister had always wanted to get rid of her glasses, but she was nervous about LASIK surgery after reading about potential risks like dry eyes, glare, and halos at night. Still, her vision was getting worse, and she finally decided to explore her options. After thorough research, she chose Gangnam Joeunnun Vision Clinic, where she met Dr. Kim Jun-heon, a specialist known for his detailed consultations and precise approach.
During the consultation, Dr. Kim carefully explained both the benefits and possible side effects of LASIK. He emphasized that while many patients experience smooth recoveries, some may temporarily face dryness or night vision issues and that’s why proper screening and customized planning are essential. Feeling reassured, my sister went ahead with the procedure. Thanks to Dr. Kim’s expertise, everything went smoothly, and the side effects were minimal and short-lived. She now enjoys perfect vision without glasses. If you’re considering LASIK and want a clinic that truly prioritizes safety and long term results, I highly recommend Gangnam Joeunnun Vision Clinic.
I considered LASIK when my vision kept worsening despite changing glasses. After doing my own research and hearing from a friend who had it done, I visited SNU Eye Clinic in Seoul. During the consultation, Dr. Chung Eui Sang explained everything clearly, including the possible side effects like dry eyes, glare, halos at night, or overcorrection. He reassured me that while most people heal well, some experience temporary discomfort or light sensitivity.
My cousin had LASIK at the same clinic a year earlier, and his results encouraged me to move forward. SNU Eye Clinic has advanced equipment and was very thorough with testing. They checked my corneal thickness and eye health to make sure I was a good candidate. I appreciated how detailed and cautious they were. My sister is planning to go there next month for her own evaluation after seeing my recovery.
Hi My friend recently considered LASIK surgery to get rid of glasses. He learned that while LASIK can give clear vision, it comes with some risks like temporary dry eyes, glare or halos at night, flap issues, or mild regression of vision. To be safe he consulted Dr. Man-Soo Kim at Gangnam St. Mary’s One Eye Clinic in Seoul. The surgery went smoothly. My friend had some mild dryness and glare at first, but it improved within weeks, and he was thrilled with his clear vision.
