LASIK in Korea: Candidacy, Methods, Recovery, and Travel Planning
LASIK creates a corneal flap and uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea; candidacy requires stable adult vision, healthy corneas, and a detailed in-person assessment. In Korea, LASIK costs ₩1,700,000–₩2,500,000 (about US$1,300–$1,900), with a 3–5-day minimum stay, early postoperative review, and follow-up planning needed.
