Discover World-Class Vision Correction in Korea
Experience Life-Changing Results with Cutting-Edge Technology
Korea is renowned for its world-leading vision correction technology, offering life-changing results through quick and efficient procedures. To begin the process, refrain from wearing contact lenses for a week before your eye exam. Our comprehensive eye examination takes around 40-60 minutes and utilizes advanced equipment to ensure accurate results. Rest assured, Agape K-Beauty Experts will be by your side during the exam to assist with any language barriers. Once your results are analyzed, our team will discuss your options, allowing you to choose whether to undergo vision correction on the same day, the next day, or at a later date.
The surgery itself is a swift process, usually taking 10-20 minutes, and utilizes numbing eye drops for your comfort. After a brief recovery period, the doctor will perform a final eye check before you’re ready to leave. We’ll accompany you to the pharmacy to obtain the necessary medication for a smooth healing process and to prevent any risk of infection. Trust Agape K-Beauty Experts for your transparent, safe, and skillfully managed vision correction journey.
Eye Examination Process
Ensuring Optimal Results Through Thorough Assessment
Undergoing a thorough eye examination prior to surgery is crucial, as the health, corneal condition, and shape of each person’s eyes are unique. A comprehensive assessment not only determines the feasibility of the surgery but also helps in deciding the most suitable surgical method.
01. Booking and Registration
The process begins with a 100% pre-booked appointment system.
02. Precision Vision Test
Our experts conduct 10 specialized tests and 51 precision examinations to evaluate your eyes thoroughly.
03. Surgical Consultation
Following the examination, you’ll have a one-on-one customized consultation with our head doctor to determine the best surgical approach for your needs.
04. Surgery
After receiving pre-surgery instructions, the procedure will be performed. Note that the duration may vary depending on the type of surgery.
05. Post-Surgery Recovery and Discharge
Once the surgery is completed, you’ll rest for 20-30 minutes in the recovery room before returning home. Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to ensure proper post-surgery care.
At Agape K-Beauty Experts, we prioritize the precision examination process to provide the best possible vision correction outcomes tailored to each individual’s needs.
One-Day Visu LASIK
Regain Your Perfect Vision with Advanced Technology
One-Day Visu LASIK is a vision correction surgery that utilizes state-of-the-art lasers to create a corneal flap, which is then lifted to apply the laser to the inner corneal layers, correcting refractive errors. At Agape K-Beauty Experts, we use the advanced femtosecond laser system to perform fast and accurate surgeries.
Femtosecond LASIK: The 3rd Generation of Vision Correction
- Corneal flap creation using a femtosecond laser
- Rapid vision recovery
- Strong corneal flap
Surgical Process:
- The high-speed laser creates a corneal flap that is lifted and folded back.
- The corneal flap is opened, and laser is applied for vision correction.
- The corneal flap is then placed back in its original position.
Benefits of One-Day Visu LASIK:
- Almost no pain and quick recovery, allowing patients to resume daily activities the next day.
- The precise laser application ensures a robust corneal flap.

Comfort LASEK
Experience a Safer and Minimally Invasive Eye Surgery
Comfort LASEK is a vision correction surgery that removes only the outermost corneal epithelium, exposes the underlying corneal layers, and uses a laser to correct refractive errors. This procedure minimizes slow recovery and dry eye issues and reduces pain based on the experience of over 10,000 successful surgeries.
Comfort LASEK Procedure:
- Removal of only the corneal epithelium before applying the laser for vision correction
- Suitable for individuals with thin corneas
Surgical Process:
- A special solution is used to loosen the corneal epithelium, which is then gently removed.
- The laser is applied for vision correction.
- The corneal epithelium is repositioned, and a therapeutic contact lens is placed on the eye.
Advantages of Comfort LASEK:
- Compared to LASIK, it allows for greater residual corneal thickness, making it suitable for low to high myopia correction.
- Provides safety from external impacts after a sufficient recovery period.
- Can be performed regardless of corneal size and shape.

- Those sensitive to dry eyes and glare.
- Those with occupations or hobbies involving potential eye impacts.
SMILE
Experience the Latest Advancement in Laser Eye Surgery
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a cutting-edge vision correction technique that uses a femtosecond laser to reshape the cornea and correct myopia (nearsightedness). Myopia is a common refractive error where close objects appear clear, but distant objects are blurry. It affects approximately 25% of the population in most developed countries.
Surgery Process:
- A laser cuts the cornea to create a refractive lenticule.
- A small 2-4mm incision is made on the cornea with a laser.
- The lenticule is removed through the small incision, correcting the vision.
Advantages of SMILE over LASIK:
- No corneal flap is made during SMILE, reducing the risk of complications.
- The incision is 80% smaller than the one made during LASIK, making it less disruptive to the corneal surface.
- SMILE is considered to be safer and more stable than LASIK, with minimized risks of late corneal thinning, ectasia, and dry eye.
Although LASIK is an extremely safe procedure, SMILE has gained popularity for its modern technique and additional benefits. The cost of SMILE is slightly higher than that of LASIK or LASEK, but the investment ensures the safest and most stable vision correction procedure available today. Consider SMILE if you’re seeking a state-of-the-art solution for your vision needs.
ICL: Implantable Contact Lens
Enhance Your Vision Safely and Comfortably
Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) is a safe and effective vision correction surgery that involves inserting a suitable lens inside the eye. This procedure does not cause any damage to the cornea during or after the surgery, ensuring a secure and successful vision correction experience.
Surgery Process:
- Make a 2-3mm incision in the cornea before surgery.
- Carefully insert the lens.
- Position the lens in the correct location.
Advantages of ICL Surgery:
- Preserves the cornea for a safe procedure.
- Suitable for patients with high myopia or thin corneas.
- Can be performed on individuals with corneal diseases, such as corneal opacity or corneal dystrophy.

- Lightweight lens design ensures minimal discomfort after surgery.
Cataracts
Tailoring Vision Solutions for Cataract Patients
Cataracts are a common eye condition where the lens, which was once clear, becomes cloudy due to aging. This results in decreased vision quality. In many countries, cataract surgery is the most commonly performed operation, and it is highly recommended for people over 40 to have regular eye examinations to detect cataracts early.
The Importance of Precision Diagnosis and Experienced Treatment
It is essential to have a precise diagnosis using advanced equipment and to receive treatment from a clinic with a wealth of clinical experience. The best outcomes are achieved when the most suitable treatment plan is applied based on the patient’s individual needs.
Cutting-edge Technology in Cataract Surgery
Modern cataract surgery uses advanced technology to ensure patient safety and minimize pain during the procedure. One such device is the Alcon Centurion, an AI-powered system that maintains the appropriate eye pressure during surgery and uses a tiny incision for faster recovery.
Multifocal Intraocular Lenses for Cataract and Presbyopia Treatment
There are several types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) used to correct vision after cataract surgery:
- FineVision: A trifocal IOL designed to provide clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances.

FAQ about Cataracts
A: Ideally, cataract surgery should be performed before the lens becomes too hard, making the surgery more challenging and the outcome less predictable. It is best to consult a professional after receiving a cataract diagnosis and experiencing difficulties in daily life or a desire to stop using glasses or multifocal lenses.
A: Most patients can return to their daily routine immediately after surgery. However, it is recommended to avoid rubbing or putting pressure on the eye for about a month to ensure proper healing. For 1-2 weeks after surgery, some patients may experience color or clarity differences, and wearing sunglasses or protective eyewear outdoors can help.
A: No, cataracts do not recur after surgery. However, a condition called posterior capsular opacification can develop, where the remaining lens capsule becomes cloudy. This can be treated with a simple laser procedure.
A: IOLs are designed to last a lifetime. However, vision changes may still occur due to factors such as the health of the retina or optic nerve. Regular post-operative check-ups are important for maintaining good vision.
A: Light makeup can be applied a week after surgery, while eye makeup should be avoided for two weeks. Hair treatments like perms or dyes can be done a month after surgery, and public bathhouses or saunas should also be avoided for a month.
Presbyopia Correction
Embracing a Glasses-Free Future
Presbyopia is a common age-related vision condition that typically affects people over 40. As we age, the lens of the eye loses elasticity and thickens, and the ciliary muscles, responsible for adjusting the lens’s thickness, become weaker. This results in difficulty focusing on nearby objects, such as reading materials or electronic devices. With the increasing use of smartphones and tablets, more people are experiencing presbyopia at a younger age.
Initial symptoms of presbyopia include needing to hold reading materials further away, slow focus adjustments between near and far objects, and experiencing headaches when focusing on close-up tasks. These symptoms may worsen in dim lighting or when tired, but can be corrected with reading glasses.
If you suspect that you may have presbyopia, a simple self-assessment can help. If you are over 40, have difficulty reading small print, need to hold materials at a distance to read clearly, experience eye fatigue or headaches during close work, struggle to read in dim light, or have difficulty adjusting focus between near and far objects, it’s time to consider presbyopia treatment.
There are several surgical options for presbyopia correction, including LASIK, LASEK, and SMILE procedures. These surgeries offer numerous benefits, such as the use of advanced laser technology for precise and safe treatment, relatively simple and quick recovery, and the elimination of the need for reading glasses.
Discover a brighter, clearer future by choosing us for your presbyopia treatment! Our experienced team of vision specialists is committed to providing the highest standard of care, utilizing state-of-the-art technology and personalized treatment plans to help you regain the freedom of crisp, comfortable vision.

Experience Clear Vision with Dream Lens
Transform Your Vision Overnight for a Glasses-Free Life
Dream Lens is a unique vision correction method that works by flattening the central part of the cornea, allowing you to enjoy clear vision without the need for surgery or glasses. Simply wear the lenses before going to bed, and when you remove them in the morning, your vision will be temporarily corrected, making it possible to go about your daily activities without any visual aids.
How Dream Lens Works and Its Benefits
The Dream Lens relies on the principle of non-surgical corneal reshaping, which uses contact lenses to change the shape of the cornea. By flattening the cornea, the lens reduces the refractive power of the eye, allowing light to focus accurately on the retina and correcting nearsightedness.
Overnight Vision Improvement: A Step-by-Step Guide:
- Deteriorated vision in the eye
- Wearing lenses before going to bed
- Restoring the cornea to a normal refractive state
- Removing the lenses in the morning results in improved vision
Advantages of Dream Lens
- No age limit (children and elementary school students can also have the treatment)
- More effective in controlling myopia and astigmatism progression when used during growth periods
- Can be used even when side effects occur from wearing traditional contact lenses
- Suitable for athletes, police officers, firefighters, flight attendants, and other professionals who have difficulty wearing glasses
- Improves vision without surgery, glasses, or lenses
- Minimizes pain, easy to adapt, and comfortable
RGP Lenses
Experience Superior Vision correction
RGP lenses (Rigid Gas Permeable) provide excellent vision correction and safety for the eyes, as they allow for proper oxygen permeability and are suitable for various eye conditions. They are comfortable for long-term wear and require less maintenance compared to soft lenses. If you are considering RGP lenses, it is crucial to consult with our specialist to determine the best type of lens for your specific needs.
Key features and advantages of RGP lenses:
- High oxygen permeability: Provides ample oxygen to the eye, reducing side effects like corneal edema and other eye conditions.
- Tear circulation: The movement of the lens over the cornea circulates tears, reducing dryness.
- Perfect correction of minor astigmatism: Corrects even the most minor, hard-to-correct astigmatism.
- Durability: Easy to care for, with a long lens life (about 2 years), making them cost-effective.
- Lens material: The lens material does not absorb moisture, reducing the redness that can occur from tears being taken away.
- Effective for high myopia/astigmatism: Provides excellent vision correction for high myopia, severe astigmatism, and irregular astigmatism.
- If you have dry eyes or conjunctivitis due to long-term soft lens wear.
- If you have irregular astigmatism that cannot be corrected with glasses.
- If you experience eye fatigue or headaches due to a difference in visual acuity.
- If you need to wear lenses continuously for an extended period.
- If your job does not allow wearing glasses.
- Initially, wear the lenses according to the adaptation schedule.
- Avoid wearing them for more than 8 hours a day and use glasses in combination.
- Clean and store the lenses using a dedicated solution.
- Always carry the dedicated solution with you. If foreign substances get in your eye, remove the lens, clean it, and then put it back on.
- Remove the lenses before going in the water. If removing lenses is unavoidable, wear goggles and clean the lenses afterward before wearing them again.
- If you don’t plan on wearing the lenses for an extended period, store them dry and soak them in the storage solution 1-2 days before wearing them again.
- If you experience any issues with your eyes or lenses, it is a good idea to visit an eye doctor regularly for checkups.
