Joshua from USA, he had LASIK surgery at Kangnam Joeunnun International Eye Center on July 11, 2014. He is an english teacher at Jeongcheol English Institute in Seoul, but he is leaving for America in a month. He wanted to have a laser eye surgery to fix his myopia before he leave Korea as he knew that the laser surgery in Korea has been well known and not that expensive as compared to the laser surgery in USA. He came to our hospital last week to check his eyes. It was one week after the LASIK surgery. As we expected, his vision was great and clear. Although he told me he has light spread at night, but that is just normal process after the laser surgery. He will feel better with his vision even at night in several months.
Here are some pictures of him while he stayed at the hospital for the eye exam and LASIK surgery.
