Getting LASIK surgery was something I’d been putting off for years—partly out of fear, but mostly because I didn’t want to deal with a long recovery while traveling. But after hearing great things about Jryn Eye Clinic in Gangnam, I decided to go for it during my stay in Seoul—and I’m so glad I did.
From my first consultation with Dr. Sang Youp Han (profile here), everything was smooth, professional, and surprisingly quick. The clinic uses state-of-the-art equipment, and Dr. Han explained that their LASIK procedures are highly refined, allowing for faster healing and minimal discomfort. I also had the chance to meet Dr. Heo Joong Gu and Dr. Lee Jae Jung (profiles here, here), who all work together to ensure a seamless experience for international patients.
The surgery itself took less than 15 minutes, and within just a few hours, I could already see clearly—though things were a bit hazy at first, as expected. By the next day, my vision had improved dramatically, and I was able to walk around Seoul without glasses. I followed their aftercare instructions closely—no eye rubbing, protective glasses, and medicated drops—and experienced almost no pain. I was sightseeing again within 48 hours!
In total, the initial recovery only took 1–2 days, with a full return to normal activities (including screen time and workouts) within a week. The team at Jryn Eye Clinic checked in with me regularly and even helped coordinate follow-ups before I flew home.
If you’re considering LASIK in Gangnam and want a fast, safe recovery, Jryn Eye Clinic is hands-down the best choice. Their technology, team, and care for foreign patients make it a top-tier experience from start to finish.
I’ve been wearing glasses for years, and LASIK surgery was something I’d always wanted to do but never had the courage for—until I visited Jryn Eye Clinic in Gangnam. I was looking for a clinic with expertise and a smooth recovery process, and after reading reviews about Dr. Sang Youp Han (profile here) and his team, I felt confident about choosing them.
(Doctors | Heo Joong Gu)), I was cleared to return to normal activities in about 2–3 days. For the first week, I avoided rubbing my eyes, but overall, the discomfort was minimal.
By the end of the first week, my vision was nearly perfect, and I could go back to working, driving, and exercising as usual. The team at Jryn Eye Clinic, including Dr. Lee Jae Jung (profile here), made sure I was well taken care of with clear instructions and easy follow-ups.
If you’re considering LASIK and are wondering about recovery time, Jryn Eye Clinic is fantastic. The process was smooth, fast, and the results were life-changing. I highly recommend them for anyone, especially foreigners, looking to get LASIK in Gangnam.
My brother had been considering LASIK surgery for a long time, but he was hesitant about the recovery process. After doing some research, he decided to undergo the procedure at Jryn Eye Clinic in Gangnam, known for its cutting-edge technology and excellent patient care. He was pleasantly surprised by how quickly he was able to return to his daily routine after the surgery. In fact, the recovery time was far shorter than he had expected. By the next day, he had already noticed significant improvements in his vision, and within a week, he was almost back to normal, with minimal discomfort.
The key to his smooth recovery was the expertise of Dr. Sang Youp Han, who guided him through the process with care and precision. Dr. Han explained that most patients experience little to no downtime with LASIK, especially when performed by an experienced surgeon. Thanks to Jryn Eye Clinic’s advanced technology and Dr. Han’s skill, my brother was able to enjoy clear vision in just a few days, making his decision to get LASIK one of the best choices he’s ever made.
