👍 I had a good experience here. The person who checked my eyes first was slightly abrasive. They did not wipe down the machines between people using them which bothered me. They also didnt raise the table most of the time so i kept having to stoop lower which hurt my back. But the front desk and ever...

    I had a good experience here. The person who checked my eyes first was slightly abrasive. They did not wipe down the machines between people using them which bothered me. They also didnt raise the table most of the time so i kept having to stoop lower which hurt my back. But the front desk and everyone else was excellent. Most of the staff spoke a little english and there was an excellent english interpreter there for the important parts. Her english was impeccable I believe her name was Anh. They quoted me $1760 USD for SMILE in both eyes which was definitely a fantastic price to me as an American. The procedure itself was relatively painless and the staff appeared knowledgeable and trustworthy. One complaint I have was that after the procedure just leave you outside the operation room by yourself and expect you to blindly figure out how to leave. It would have been much nicer if they at least guided you to the waiting room or offered to call you a cab. In America after an eye procedure its standard to give out very cheap sunglasses and I wish they did that too because my eyes were very sensitive to light. They did mention to bring that and I forgot so thats really my fault. Either way my vision is 20/20 now so im still glad I went.

    Great experience with the clinic. Anh was very helpful with the translations. Everyone was very nice and nurses guided me throughout the process. I got the Quattro+ SMILE procedure. I decided to get it in Seoul as it is cheaper than what we have locally in my country and BGN's equipments are top notch. The tests were very thorough. There was stinging during the 1st day but after rest and following after care, the next day the pain was gone though vision was still a bit blurred and driving is not advisable. I can see far now but devices i have to adjust the font size to be bigger to read what's on the screen. Hopefully this would be better in a week's time. Update: Six months later and my eyesight turned from nearsighted to now presbyopia. I can see from afar up to an arm's away. Anything close is blurred, which makes it difficult to fill up forms or use devices because I have to be mindful of the distance or else I won't be able to see or read. They have offered corrective surgery but it's a bit scary to risk my eyes again when it didn't work the first time. Clinic experience is great. Post op is not. Ultimately, the risk is for the patient to take.

    I had a wonderful experience at BGN eye clinic. The clinic is super clean, high tech, and efficient. All staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, even to foreigners who don’t speak Korean. I was in and out of the clinic after a consultation and SMILE surgery, and my recovery was quick. Thanks so much!

    Received SMILE from BGN and had a fantastic experience. I don't much Korean but that was not am issue, their English speaking staff was very helpful and made the entire experience very smooth. Highly recommend for any considering eye correction surgery and the price was very reasonable compared to what it would have cost me back in the US.

    Good day, BGN team, I want to express my gratitude for everyone's professionalism and compassion during my LASIK procedure. I was at ease and certain that I was in capable care. I had clearer vision after surgery than I had with my glasses! ♥️🙏🏻

    I had an amazing experience here when I had Quattro SMILE done. Starting with online enquiry, the staff has been very friendly and helpful, patiently answering my enquiries, giving me the confidence and assurance. When I went down for my appt, everything went smoothly and fast. The clinic is foreigner-friendly with helpful translator, who explain to us the process at every step right till the end. I was able to get the surgery done on the same day and went back 6 days later for a follow-up before flying back home. I only felt pain and uncomfortable on the first day as expected. No more pain the day after, only blurry vision. Overall, I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to get lasik done in Seoul.

    The hospitality and service were exceptional! I underwent the QUATTRO SMILE procedure around a month ago in early June. The entire process was seamless and efficiently managed, starting with comprehensive eye examinations and detailed explanations about the various surgical options to the doctor's consultation. All the staff members were incredibly kind and provided excellent service, with special mention to Anh who was not only proficient in English but also guided me throughout my entire clinic experience. The surgery itself went smoothly, and I experienced clear vision within a few hours. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to all international visitors!

    I am extremely happy with BGN Eye Clinic. Everybody was so nice and professional. I felt really safe and well informed the entire time. Of course, the best is that I can see without contacts again. I can only recommend this clinic to anyone who is looking to receive proper laser eye surgery. Thank you to the entire BGN-Team!

    I booked in for SMILE LASIK on Feb 20 and had an amazingly smooth experience from start to finish! Firstly, the email correspondence from BGN’s side was incredibly quick and informative, especially when I had to make a last minute change to my booking date. The day of the consultation and surgery was probably one of the most efficient experiences I’ve had as they go through each machine in depth and quickly one after the other with no sitting around and waiting between each one. It was incredibly extensive, far more than what I’m used to at the optometrist in Australia. After the tests are completed, the English consultant Ahn takes you through your test results and recommends which surgeries will best work for your eyes. There is no pressure to even complete the surgery there if you don’t wish to. After deciding on Quattro SMILE and paying (please check the BGN Facebook as there might be discounts, I got ₩200,000 off for Valentines!) they let me know that the surgery will be conducted later that afternoon so I could pop out and have lunch before returning. They literally hold your hand through the whole process of preparing you for surgery with the various eye drops and locations you need to go to. The surgery itself was only a few minutes and the staff are incredibly encouraging through the process. I was well enough to take a train back after, but I recommend calling a taxi instead as it can be disconcerting. There was absolutely no pain, only the discomfort of very dry eyes that they let you know about. The checkup the next day and week proceeded in a similar fashion, quick and efficient despite me being late for both! The doctor was kind enough to give me some pictures of my eyes to show my ophthalmologist in my home country as I decided not to go through with an additional Retina surgery. If you’re looking to get any type of laser eye surgery in Korea, I truly recommend BGN as they were both so efficient and informative and had very caring staff!! Thank you again Ahn for your support and understanding throughout the whole process ☺️

    Overall the experience was great. Ms Ahn is such a wonderful person who assisted us every step of the way. She helped us navigate the process and translate everything that we needed to know. The doctors and those who checked on me were wonderful, they even took the time to entertain and talk to my daughter during the whole process and my checkups. Just wanted to extend our thank you to everyone who were there for us. I definitely recommend this clinic, they’re wonderful, helpful, and very good in what they do. Having lasek is best decision I’ve ever made, and I’m happy it’s all because of this clinic.

    Fantastic experience from beginning to end! Anh guided me through the beginning of the process without any issues. She was able to immediately answer any questions I had. She is a true professional and knows her business inside and out. There was absolutely NO pain at all at any time. I had been wanting to have vision corrective surgery for years and I finally felt comfortable with a company/process/surgeon. BGN is my only recommendation for such procedures. Thanks again to the entire BGN team! Respectfully, -Jeffrey C. Fischer

    The staff at BGN were extremely accommodating and efficient in their care. From the series of lab testing done before the surgery to the follow-up appointment I felt like I was in good hands! Huge thanks to Anh for translating the entire process as well as providing verbal comfort. As someone who underwent Smile Lasik Pro in early November, I have yet to have any side effects from the operation and can see perfectly. Thanks again to everyone!

    I would highly recommend this place to anyone going to Korea for lasik/smile surgery! They were very accommodating to foreigners and will have a translator with you every step of the way! Not once did I feel like I was lost or didn't have all the information I needed to make a proper decision for myself. The staff are very kind and not pushy, if there was ever a miscommunication problem, they would take the time to make sure we were all on the same page before proceeding with anything! I also really loved how many check up appointments there were! The doctor helped explain any questions I had and it really felt like they take the time to go through each patient instead of treating everyone the same. I went for the smile pro option and could see significantly better just hours after the surgery!

    I had smile pro surgery at BGN, everything was incredibly well executed and efficient. I made an appointment before traveling and when I arrived Anh facilitated all the explanations and information in English. My vision recovered fully by the follow up checkup the next day.

    I had the best experience at BGN Eye Clinic in Jamsil. Booking online was super easy and there were no issues upon arrival to the clinic. My translator Ahn was amazing. She was so patient, kind, and thorough in her explanations. They performed an extensive eye exam and explained the results in great detail. I was able to receive the Smile Triple Pro Lasik Eye Surgery the same day. The entire process took less than 3 hours. The surgery itself took about 5 minutes and recovery time was about 3-5 hours. I was still able to see quite a bit immediately after the surgery. I'm currently 6 days post-surgery and my vision is about 97%. I'm still recovering in terms of clarity and dry eyes, but each day is better. I would highly recommend this particular clinic for anyone seeking vision correction.

  • 5/5 KristyMike O. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a fantastic experience here. Was hoping for SMILE, but I only qualified for LASIK and got same-day surgery. I was in for my consultation at 2pm and leaving the building by 4pm. Things were quite uncomfortable that evening but I followed all of the instructions and by the next morning I felt much better and had 20/20 vision in both eyes! I am 4 weeks post-op and I am So Impressed with how great my vision is. I would absolutely recommend BGN Jamsil to anyone interested in vision correction surgery.

  • 5/5 Larissa V. 1 year ago on Google
    I got the Smile Lasik procedure done with BGN. My experience was great with with them from start to finish. They discussed which procedure would be best for me and really were looking out for me and not just making a profit. They were very informative and had an English translator to assist with communicating with the doctors and kept me informed every step of the way. Recovery was fast and in now able to see with out my glasses and contacts. It’s amazing to wake up in the morning and see without searching for my glasses, seeing as though I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 8. Can’t thank BGN enough for making this life changing experience amazing.

    I had a great experience here. The staff was so nice and accommodating. They had english speaking staff help with the whole process. Despite going on a busy day, they were very efficient with the whole process. I was even able to get the surgery done on the same day as the examination. Now a month later, I have 20/20 vision. I would totally recommend anyone thinking of getting the surgery to come here!

  • 5/5 Kathy L. 7 months ago on Google
    I can see! My experience at BGN was great. Their facilities were very nice and modern. They were incredibly efficient (same day consultation and LASIK). I went with a friend and they accommodated both our schedules during the day of LASIK and for all our follow up appointments. Anh our translator was patient and informative and walked us through the whole process. I went to BGN a little nervous since I'm a foreigner and was actually on the fence about doing the procedure but their overall process and facilities put me at ease. Totally worth taking the trip to BGN. 100% would do it again.

  • 5/5 Joy R. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to BGN for a consultation+procedure for laser eye surgery. Everyone who worked with me was absolutely lovely and I was assigned a representative who explained everything to me in clear and fluent English. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking into that kind of procedure. The pricing was fair and the service and experience was unbeatable.

  • 5/5 S A. 9 months ago on Google
    I recently had my smile relex vision correction at BGN Jamsil. The entire experience was exceptional, leaving me with improved vision and an overall positive impression of the clinic. The level of professionalism exhibited by the staff and medical team was truly commendable. Right from the moment I stepped into the clinic, I was greeted warmly by the front desk personnel, who efficiently handled the necessary paperwork and answered all my questions. The waiting area was clean, comfortable, and had a soothing ambience. There was also a fluent English translator, Anh, who accompanied me during important intervals, which was really helpful in ensuring I understood everything necessary for the procedure. The surgery itself was swift and painless, and I could already notice the difference in my vision a few hours after the procedure. During my recovery period, I experienced some eye stings and blurriness, and Anh/the support stuff provided helpful instructions and was always available to answer any post-surgery questions I had. Recommended!

    I’m so happy I got my Smile Lasik surgery done here at the Jamsil BGN Eye Clinic while I was in Korea. The translation and services were top notch and I had every question answered without concern or any kind of issue. I feel very happy with the results and glad that I chose to have this surgery done. It is such a blessing to be able to see clearly! My vision is very clear and I have no issues 1 month post operation.

    I had an extraordinary experience at BGN Eye Clinic, located in Jamsil Lotte Tower, Seoul, where I underwent SMILE LASIK surgery. From the very beginning, the staff’s dedication and kindness left a lasting impression. The initial consultation was comprehensive, and they patiently answered all my questions, putting any concerns at ease. Throughout the entire journey, the staff’s friendliness and professionalism shone brightly. Anh, in particular, accompanied me every step of the way, offering careful explanations and guidance, which made me feel incredibly supported. The surgery itself was a resounding success, and thanks to their exceptional aftercare, the healing process was surprisingly bearable. I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for their expertise and the warm atmosphere they created. One aspect that impressed me greatly was their foreign-friendly approach. As an international patient, I felt welcomed and understood, which further solidified my trust in their services. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend BGN Eye Clinic to anyone seeking top-notch eye care. Their team’s dedication, compassion, and professionalism go above and beyond, ensuring a remarkable experience. I am sincerely grateful for the life-changing results they provided, and I am confident that others will find the same level of care and excellence at this exceptional clinic.

    BGN eye clinic was very helpful! I received the smile lasik procedure and everything went smoothly. The staff was very friendly, extremely helpful, and were easy to reach and responded quickly when I had any questions. I would recommend BGN eye clinic to anyone! I am very pleased with my experience at the clinic.

  • 5/5 Bettina P. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the SMILE eye procedure done here and it was super efficient and painless process. I went home by myself on the metro without sunglasses and was totally fine. Was shocked at how fast the recovery was as well, currently I'm 3 week post-op and don't have any dry eye symptoms but was given eyedrops which was a nice touch. Prices was of course more reasonable compared to Australian prices. Would highly recommend BGN eye clinic to anyone thinking of getting vision correction, wish i would've done this sooner!

  • 5/5 Rose Marie J. 1 year ago on Google
    The process from beginning to end was incredible! I had so much support and the staff were very informative. Ahn, the lady that worked with me, stayed with me through the entire examination. She was reassuring and used her personal experience to help with my indecisiveness. During the surgery, all the ladies there were very kind and guided me with much comfort. I was very calm though the surgery because there was some one there talking to me and her presence just made me feel very at ease. Afterwards, I was sent home with guidance and post-surgery reminders. A couple days later, I went back for a follow-up and the entire process was super quick. The doctor didn’t speak English but the translator was very helpful and also asked about paperwork I could take back stateside in case anything happened. The translator reassured me of the guarantee to their policy about fixing any issues and that was very nice. My entire experience with the clinic and their staff was positive and very delightful.. I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about doing corrective eye surgery. They will be very pleased with their service!

    I had a very pleasant experience at BGN! All the workers were very nice and professional. Ahn was extremely helpful in explaining each step of the procedures with me and she was able to answer all of my questions. They all made sure I was comfortable during and after my procedures. Most of all, my vision now is amazing and I am very grateful that I went to BGN and highly recommend them for all your vision related needs.

    I had a great experience with BGN Eye Clinic. There were no language issues as Anh was super helpful and clear in explaining the whole procedure in English. The rest of the team was also very friendly and patient even though they may not have fully understood what I was saying. There were a lot of tests done during my consultation, which reassured me that I was getting the best possible service as the team was dedicated to obtain the most accurate results. The surgery was super quick and painless that I was actually shocked when it was done! I also loved that they gave me a teddy to cuddle during the surgery to calm my nerves. I had 2 check ups with the doctor after the surgery and Anh was helpful to tailor the aftercare eye drops to suit my needs as I was only staying in Korea for a short time. I would definitely recommend BGN Eye Clinic. I already have a few family members that have booked their appointments for later in the year.

    My experience at BGN Eye Clinic was nothing but amazing and wonderful. The office is clean and has many seating areas. All of the staff and doctor were friendly and professional. During the eye exams, each test was explained before starting and flowed smoothly from one machine to the next. Both Korean and English was spoken comfortably. When it was time for my consultation, Anh, explained everything in English from my test results, the different procedures, and scheduling my appointment for my eye surgery. I cannot wait to have my surgery that is coming up and be able to see clearly without contacts and glasses with the help from BGN. I will most definitely be recommending BGN Eye Clinic.

    The staff at BGN is very patient and helpful! They are foreign friendly and guided me every step of the way for my procedure. I got SMILE Pro surgery there, and not only are the results amazing, they made sure I had plenty of eye drops for aftercare. The following checkups also were great, and they made sure my eyes were healthy each time.

The SMILE procedure was affordable, quick, and easy. The recovery time was also very quick. I am very pleased with the results! I highly recommend BGN eye clinic and the SMILE procedure!
