Had my SMILE laser eye surgery here and couldn’t be happier. The clinic is modern, the doctors are experienced and genuinely caring, and the whole process from exam to same-day surgery was smooth and well organised. Fair price, with a free detailed eye exam included. Highly recommend BGN for anyone considering vision correction in Seoul. Thank you to the whole team!

From Singapore. I did SmilePro with XCL add-on. My prescription is High myopia (-6.5) and moderate astigmatism (-1.25) in both eyes 1. Pre-Surgery & Consultation The pre-surgery experience was highly professional and reassuring. I underwent a comprehensive, one-hour eye examination and consultation. Interestingly, they discovered that my current glasses were over-corrected (which they double-checked), giving me great confidence in their accuracy. The clinic itself is well-equipped, beautifully furnished, and features a comfortable waiting area for companions, complete with a water station and snacks. During the medical consultation, the doctors focused primarily on corneal thickness, myopia, astigmatism, and budget. My Advice on Smile vs. SmilePro: SmilePro was specifically designed to correct astigmatism with higher accuracy. If your astigmatism is moderate or higher, I highly recommend it. However, if your myopia is below -5.0 with mild astigmatism, regular Smile is more than sufficient. Because the profit margin for SmilePro is higher, be aware of upselling. A friend of mine was pushed to upgrade to Pro simply because they knew she could afford it. My stance? Only pay for the "extra certainty" of SmilePro if it comfortably fits your budget. Perks & Inclusions: They offered a 100,000 KRW discount for same-day surgery, and an additional 100,000 KRW discount for an Instagram video review. Anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and artificial tear drops were all included in the SmilePro package. 2. The Surgery Experience Because I was wearing sunscreen, I was first escorted to a preparation room fully stocked with makeup remover, facial cleanser, toner, and lotion to clean my face. The operating room adheres to strict sterile protocols, requiring patients to change into surgical gowns and shoes. After numbing drops were administered, an assistant gently guided me to the operating bay by the hand. To ease anxiety, they provided a soft toy and a weighted blanket, which made me feel incredibly safe. The procedure itself was fantastic—fast (under 10 minutes), entirely painless, and seamlessly coordinated. Afterward, my vision was quite blurry, as if looking through a white mist, which is normal for the first day. 3. Post-Surgery Follow-Ups & Areas for Improvement This is where the service standards dropped compared to the excellent pre-surgery care. First Follow-Up (3 Days Post-Op): I did a basic visual acuity test and a cornea check with the doctor. Because follow-ups require a separate payment, I was disappointed that neither the clinical assistant nor the doctor explained my actual test results. My vision was still slightly blurry, and I left with no concrete idea of how my eyes were actually progressing. Furthermore, upon learning I was leaving Korea in a week, they scheduled a second follow-up without a clear medical justification. Second Follow-Up: This visit felt unnecessary. Despite having an appointment, I waited 50 minutes for a consultation that lasted less than 60 seconds. A female doctor simply repeated, "Your eyes are recovering fine, just finish the two eye drops." This contradicted what the pre-surgery consultant told me—that only one follow-up within the first week was necessary. To add to the confusion, the doctor then advised me to see an eye doctor back home in Singapore, leaving me wondering what exactly I was supposed to be monitoring. I felt my limited time in Seoul was disrespected. Traveling to the clinic just to receive repetitive answers without any breakdown of my recovery progress or genuine patient reassurance was frustrating. Final Verdict I rate my experience 4/5 and would still recommend BGN Eye Clinic. However, BGN would heavily benefit from improving their post-operative care. Doctors should thoroughly explain test results and recovery milestones rather than focusing solely on the initial sales pitch. I would leave BGN with this line: True medical service doesn't end when the surgery is over; it ends when the patient is fully healed.

Awesome clinic. I underwent a standard LASEK surgery here, and it went so much smoother than what I expected. The stuff spoke English, so I didn't have to worry about bringing a translator, the instructions were very clear, and, surprisingly, the surgery only cost me 990,000 won which is so much cheaper than in other clinics I've visited. Bottomline, I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is thinking of having a vision correction surgery in Korea, 10/10👍

I recently had SMILE Pro eye surgery at BNG Eye Clinic, and the experience exceeded my expectations. I am very happy to see everything clearly after the surgery. The procedure itself was quick and painless, and my vision improved almost immediately. The clinic was clean, modern, and very well organized. Both the pre- and post-surgery care were excellent, with detailed guidance and attentive support from the medical team. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering vision correction surgery. Thank you to BNG team. A special thank you to the Mongolian interpreter, Tugsjargal, who guided me throughout the entire process. Her assistance made everything much easier and more comfortable.

I had SMILE pro “extra” package done at BGN and it was amazing! A special thank you to my girl, Eunhee. She did most of my pre-surgery tests and helped this experience feel so much more comfortable as a foreigner. She kindly guided me through everything, was clear, to the point, and answered all of my questions. I would totally recommend coming here! I’m definitely glad I went for it! The other thing that stood out were the high end facilities and the team making sure that everything they did was good. I was definitely nervous as soon as I got to office on surgery day, but seeing Eunhee again and my other amazing translator, Ako again helped me feel better. The surgery itself was more involved than i expected but it was literally pain free. Like I was expecting to feel some pain, but seriously ZERO. I felt like I was in good hands with everyone I interacted with. The flexibility with appointment times is also great. You can basically name your time and they’ll put you in so it really helps with other travel plans. Other than that, I did have a personal translator, Ako! She helped with my visits with the doctor and was so amazing to work with. She made sure to clarify things to make sure we were on the same page. Thank you BGN team! Wishing everyone success and good fortune.

I had my vision correction surgery at BGN Eye Clinic in Seoul, and it was truly one of the best decisions I’ve made. I had been wearing glasses and contact lenses for over 30 years, and I finally felt like it was time to make a real change. After researching online, I learned that Korea is known for having some of the latest and safest eye surgery technology, which led me to BGN. From the very beginning, their service was impressive. I contacted them through WhatsApp, and their responses were always fast and clear. Communication was never a problem — they answered all my questions patiently and sent helpful email reminders before my appointments. Making the appointment was very easy and smooth, especially as an international patient. Originally, I planned to do SMILE LASIK because the price in Korea is about one-third of the cost in the U.S. After reading many positive reviews, I felt confident moving forward. On the day of surgery, I was definitely nervous, but once I arrived, I felt reassured. The clinic is modern, spotless, and very well organized. I also saw many other patients there for vision correction procedures, which made me feel like I was in experienced hands. The staff member who assisted me spoke fluent English and was incredibly kind and friendly. She guided me through all the detailed pre-surgery exams and consultation. After reviewing my results, I chose to upgrade to SMILE Pro, which uses newer technology and only takes about 8–10 seconds for the laser portion. The price was still very reasonable and absolutely worth it for my eyes. Before the procedure, everything was explained clearly. They used numbing eye drops, so I didn’t feel pain, just slight pressure. The surgeon also spoke perfect English and calmly talked me through the entire process. She told me when to look at the green light and then follow the white light, which made it very easy to follow instructions. The procedure itself was incredibly fast and efficient. Right after surgery, my vision was already noticeably clearer, though slightly hazy at first, which they explained was normal. They gave very clear aftercare instructions, including how to use the eye drops and what to avoid during recovery. The whole experience felt professional, safe, and very well coordinated from start to finish.

Life changing experience ! I’m so glad i came here to BGN to get my Lasik Smile surgery. I’ve been wearing glasses since i was 7 years old for 23 years & contact lenses for over 15+ years. It feels amazing to be able to see 20/20 vision. Staff here speak english, very easy to get along. If you need Mongolian translator Tugsjargal is a very professional employee for BGN, much recommended. The facility is located on 11th floor @ Lotte Tower with a beautiful view. I’m satisfied with my experience here at BGN i was able to get back to my normal life after just 1 day which is mind blowing! Their technology is super advanced compared to other places. Smile surgery only took about 10 minutes total for both eyes pain free. I loved the calming clean environment

I recently had the SMILE Pro surgery done at BGN Eye Clinic in Gangnam Lotte Tower, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The entire process from the comprehensive eye exam to the actual surgery—was incredibly quick and smooth. The full exam and surgery cost me about $3,100, and I also opted for the PRP-based healing eye drops, which were an additional cost but absolutely worth it. The staff were all friendly, professional, and fluent in English, which made everything so much easier to understand and more comfortable. The procedure itself took less than 10 minutes!! I was in and out of the operating room before I even had time to feel nervous! Recovery has been great so far, and I’m already seeing clear results. A special shoutout to the lovely staff member who took care of me throughout the process unfortunately, I didn’t get her name, but she was so kind and reassuring. I truly hope life blesses her with all the money and success she deserves It’s been day 1 post operation and I feel great. Vision is adjusting however I am able to see without glasses or contacts. I wouldn’t go anywhere else but this clinic.

I recently had my SMILE PRO surgery at BGN Eye Clinic Jamsil Lotte Tower alongside my sister, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism, thoroughness, and care that made me feel completely at ease. A very special thank you goes to Mina and Jo, who were there with me during both of my visits on 09/15/2025 and 09/20/2025, respectively. Their calm, welcoming, and supportive demeanor made all the difference. They patiently explained every step of the process, answered all my questions, and provided genuine reassurance that truly eased my nerves. The clinic itself is extremely well-organized, with modern facilities and a detailed, step-by-step approach that gave me full confidence in the surgery. Everything was conducted with great precision and care, and I felt fully informed and supported at every stage. Currently in my recovery phase, but behind the slightly blurry vision, I can see the 20/20 vision on the way! Thanks to the amazing team here, my experience was smooth, comfortable, and even uplifting. I’m deeply grateful to Mina, Jo, and the entire BGN Eye Clinic staff for making such an important procedure feel so safe and positive. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering vision correction!

I just had some work done at BGN Eye Clinic, and honestly, I can’t thank them enough. I originally flew to Korea hoping to get SMILE surgery because I wanted to ditch my glasses for good. 🤓 When I got to the clinic, they did a bunch of tests to check if my eyes were healthy and suitable for the procedure. Turns out, I wasn’t a good candidate for SMILE, but they recommended I go for ICL instead. At first, I was a bit doubtful, but the optometrist really put my mind at ease. She explained that the procedure was quick, simple, and recovery was fast. I’ve never felt more comfortable with a doctor before, it made a huge difference. Fast forward to now, my eyes are better than I could’ve imagined, and I’m completely glasses-free!!! Seriously, thank you to everyone at BGN Eye Clinic for changing my life. I’m so grateful for all the care and attention! ❤️
