    whyKoreaImg1

    Annually, around 200,000 people 1 undergo laser eye surgery in Korea.

    SMILE LASIK, the latest technology, has surpassed 1.4 million procedures 2 (17.5% of 8 million performed worldwide).
    Also, Korea was the first in Asia 3 to introduce the ZEISS SMILE VISUMAX.

    Driven by high demand, Korean doctors renowned for their exceptional surgical skills —including in cosmetic surgery—provide safe and advanced vision correction.
