😠 I went for a checkup one month after the surgery and had foreign matter that got into my eye during the surgery cleaned out. Does it make sense for it to get into my eye during the surgery? On the day of surgery, there was a foreign body, but they told me that it would disappear naturally over time....

    The experience here was so amazing!! The eye exam and consultation was very thorough! They have English speaking translations so I was able to discuss and ask questions about the procedure with comfort. After the exam, the staff made appointments each time to come back for checks up which is good abd shows they care about my vision progress. If you thinking about getting the surgery, I believe this is one of the best places to get it.

    I am so happy that I chose B&VIIT for my vision correction surgery and had such an amazing experience there. I booked one-day surgery, which meant I had eye examinations in the morning and surgery later the same day. The examinations was thorough and I was met with professionalism, great service, and cleanliness. It took around 2 hours. The staff was very kind and helpful, and they provided explanations during each step. Alice accompanied me during the doctor’s recommendation. She spoke English very well and was very kind. She has a good understanding of the whole surgery and made it easy to understand. She (and the other interpreter, Rosa) was also responsive on Kakaotalk, which made communication very easy-going, and both answered my questions fast and kindly. I received the LASEK surgery after getting my examination results, and proceeded with the surgery a few hours later. Dr. Eun-min Kang performed my surgery and I felt safe in her hands. She and the nurses took great care of me and made sure I was comfortable. The surgery itself was a bit uncomfortable to me and I had some pain in the eyes post-surgery. However, I was told that it was completely normal for LASEK and that the pain will wear off after some days. I started to see more clearly after 5 days, and now, 2 weeks after my surgery, I can see perfectly fine without using glasses and lenses. It is truly a whole new world. It is definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made and I highly recommend B&VIIT! I myself am a foreigner and spoke little Korean, and I had no problem during the whole process. Can’t recommend them enough.

    ICL surgery turned out well! Dr. Ryu did an excellent job with the surgery. The whole process was simple and examinations were detailed. I was surprised how big the hospital was but everything so done in an efficient manner. B&Viit has English support too which was great. My translators Alice and Rosa were so helpful and nice. Overall I had a great experience at B&Viit.

    I had an awesome experience doing my eye laser surgery at this clinic! They do a bunch of tests on your eyes to make sure you can conduct the surgery. The staff and the machines are all very professional. most of the staff speak English but if they can speak a bit louder would be better since they all wear a mask and speak quietly… it’s hard to hear sometimes Other than this, I recommend everyone to do your eye laser surgery here!! The price is very reasonable too!

    I got LASIK at this clinic and it was the best decision I’ve made! As a chef for me it was really uncomfortable to keep wearing glasses for a long time. I would definitely recommend this clinic for anyone who wants to get an eye surgery. The personal of the clinic are really nice and helpful, doctors speak English and they explain you well how would be the process. I think I won’t never forget the moment I first opened my eyes and could see things clear, is the best feeling for someone who was using glasses for almost whole life. So don’t hesitate to get your surgery here! This is more than a just a review, trust me 🤍

    Came very last minute for LASIK surgery. I initially went to another clinic first and they said they couldn't do it due time constraints. Instead I went to B&VIIT instead who happily accepted me. I got all the testing and SMILE done in one day. Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in getting 20/20 fast!!

    I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a more modern medical center in my life. I did same-day exam and smile surgery and was impressed by the care and professionalism of all of the medical staff. My guide and translator, Alice, is an absolute gem and made me feel welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend this clinic!

    I am more than pleased with my experience at the B&VIIT Eye Center. Both the care and services provided by Dr. Hannuy Choi and related B&VIIT Eye Center staff are second to none. Which is to say, I was treated with care and professionalism for every step of the process. The examination was not only informative, it was hassle free. Furthermore, the surgery itself went even better. I cannot express how happy I am with the results of my Lasik procedure. Dr. Choi is talented professional, and I would recommend her in a heart beat to any individual who is also a good candidate for vision corrective surgery. One need not doubt the ability and hospitality of those who work at this specialized center. It was an amazing experience, and the results of my surgery will have lasting impact for many years to come.

    B&VIIT is so amazing. All of the staff are very friendly and it is very clean. As a native English speaker I didn't have a problem, there are some staff members who speak English, as well as the doctor who does the surgeries. I really recommend this place if you are interested in getting lasik. The procedure is quick and they really explain all the details and answer any questions you may have. They also do regular check ups after words to see how you are doing!!

    I had my SMILE surgery about a month ago and I am super happy with the results. I have no problems and the check up said that everything with my eyes is fine. The clinic is super clean and well organized. Everything is so well timed that there is almost no waiting time. The staff is very nice and I felt comfortable and well-taken care of. The translator Alice also helped me feel comfortable and provided great translations and detailed information on the procedures. I can really recommend this clinic!

    Beautiful clinic! The staff there was so amazing and professional. They even did a genetic test to rule out a risk(which they don’t do in Canada). Very friendly for English speakers and they had a Canadian interpreter. LASIK is 5.5k in Canada and only cost me 2k in Korea. It pays for your flight and the some! Highly recommend this clinic. Dr You Lim Lee speaks English and she was very skilled as I didn’t feel pain after surgery

    As a foreigner, I had such a seamless experience the entire time from booking the appointment to checking in to eye exams to the surgery! I felt so taken care of by the staff and the technology of the tools were amazing! The entire team including my point of contact, Alice, were all so nice and treated me with such care and respect the entire time. The surgery and recovery were both quick and painless, and just as described by the staff. The pricing is also one-forth of the US cost. I definitely recommend this place 10/10. Thank you B&VIIT eye center!

    I had a wonderful experience with B&VIIT and highly recommend their business! I had SMILE surgery in one eye and my doctor, Dr. Hannuy Choi was so kind and attentive. The practice was well organized and I was also provided with a translator, Alice, who was so sweet and responded to my emails very quickly. I highly encourage others who are interested in vision correction to go for an eye exam here!

    Not qualified for Lasek, Lasik, or Smile X, but was recommended for ICL. After receiving the ICL on the same day, this is the best and safest! From higher myopia to 20/20 vision in just one day. Worth recommendation here!

    I came to this clinic by recommendation by my friend. I had thin cornea, high myopia, and astigmatism and my only choice for vision correction was implantable collamer lens (ICL) and I had Evo-ICL toric lens placed. The translator Alice was extremely helpful during the process and helped show us where to go as well as explain the procedure and consultation to us. The eye exam was extremely thorough (they gave us the results) and the team was professional and quick. The surgery was clean and the surgeon was very skilled and quickly placed my eye lens and comforted me during the procedure. I am glad I chose B&Viit for my surgery.

    I received Smile Corrective Vision Surgery by Dr Lee. Both her and her staffs were very nice and helpful throughout the whole process. I already made plans to visit Seoul, Korea so I figured why not get 20/20 vision while I’m there. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. Dr Lee and her staffs were very thorough and informational for my same day consultation and procedure. Alice was my translator and she was amazing as well. I highly recommend anybody and everybody to this amazing eye clinic. Thank you so much for everything you guys have done for me!

    Highly recommend this place for laser eye surgery. Everyone here is very professional and the procedure is very stream lined. They do many eye tests before the actual surgery and everything is very detail oriented.

    It was my first time getting any surgery done. As a foreigner in Seoul, I was very nervous to get SMILE Lasik done since I don't speak any Korean. I'm happy to say that the surgery went perfectly and after 48 hours, I am totally recovered and able to write this review with my brand new eyes. The team at B&VIIT was very helpful and able to accommodate me quite well with pre and post- op instructions in English. The center is also located right off of Gangnam Station (Exit 9), so it was very easy to find. I found the entire process to be thorough and smooth. The facilities also appear to be very state of the art. Dr. Choi Hannuy did my initial exam and consultation and Dr. Ryu Ik-hee did my SMILE procedure. Both of them speak great English and made me feel very much at ease as well as their experienced team. I would highly recommend B&VIIT to everyone that is interested in getting SMILE Lasik in Seoul!

    As a foreigner in Korea, there are many things that are more difficult. I was really relieved and impressed to see how smooth and painless this whole process was. I had a translator with me the day of the surgery and she was careful to explain everything clearly so that I could understand. Also, I can see now! I definitely recommend this place.

    I am Anuja from India, and I recently underwent an eye surgery at the B&VIIT Eye Center in Gangnam, South Korea. Initially, I was quite apprehensive about the procedure, but the doctor managed to alleviate my fears by creating a comfortable and painless surgical experience for me. The entire staff at the center was extremely kind and helpful throughout my journey. I am sincerely grateful for their support and assistance. Thank you so much.

    (Translated by Google) I had LASIK eye surgery at B & VIIT Eye Hospital in Seoul, South Korea. We are happy to have successfully performed the operation in a comfortable and well-maintained hospital with the latest equipment at a high level without any problems or complications. Excellent advice before and after surgery and 100% satisfaction. Thank you very much to the hospital staff. If you are interested in eye surgery, try this hospital :) (Original) Би БНСУ-ын Сөүл хотын B&VIIT нүдний эмнэлэгт хараа тэглүүлэх LASIK хагалгаанд орсон.

    (Translated by Google) First of all, I have worn soft lenses almost every day for almost 10 years, and yesterday I received Smiley surgery and experienced a whole new world. I am so satisfied. Don't do it and go to B&B ophthalmology~ You won't regret it^^ (Original) 우선 저는 소프트렌즈를 10년 가까이 거의 맨날 착용했구요,,어제 스마일라식 수술받고 완전히 신세계를 경험했습니다 너무 만족합니다^^ 비앤빛안과는 저는 유투브 임다TV보고 찾아왔구요,, 지금 고민하시는 분들 계시다면 고민하지말고 비앤빛안과 찾아가세요~ 후회하지 않을 겁니다^^

    I went in for ICL surgery because I was not a candidate for refractive surgery. The staff is very helpful and professional despite being very busy. The operation was quick and they make sure that your recovery goes smoothly. 5/5

  • 5/5 Ivan L. 3 years ago on Google
    I came all the way from Los Angeles, CA to go to B&VIIT to get my SMILE LASIK done. From beginning to end I felt extremely taken care of. Temperature checks were plenty to make sure everyone was safe and healthy due to COVID. We had two hours of testing and I had the surgery on the same day. I was surprised that it was painless and very comfortable throughout. I dont speak korean but I had an amazing and wonderful translator that works at B&VIIT. Her name is Rosa Jung. She is amazing at her job as with everyone there. My doctor's name is Dr. Choi Hani. She gave me my vision back, very kind, very professional, and is extremely awesome at her job. 10/10. I recommend anyone to come to Dr Choi Hani! Overall...everyone was very kind, the testing made me very safe and theyre careful to make sure you're a good candidate before anything happens. I believe they are one of the best in their field in seoul. Im extremely happy!

    Excellent for refractive surgery! Fully satisfied after smile lasik surgery. I recommended this hospital to my sister too. Excellent service, surgery and care.

  • 5/5 jihye lee s. 4 years ago on Google
    I was looking for a place for my husband to get lasik when I met Hannuy Choi, MD. She told me about B&VIIT Eye Center and how she is one of the partners there. My experience there was phenomenal. Answered all my questions in both English and Korean. My husband got his SMILE Lasik done the same day as the consultation which was super efficient! I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

    I went for a checkup one month after the surgery and had foreign matter that got into my eye during the surgery cleaned out. Does it make sense for it to get into my eye during the surgery? On the day of surgery, there was a foreign body, but they told me that it would disappear naturally over time. At the checkup a month later, the doctor didn't say anything until the patient asked first, and he couldn't remember anything. It was only after he said it that he said it as if he had forgotten. Aren’t foreign substances allowed to enter the cornea during surgery? Also, cleaning should be done before closing the flap in the first place. Why is it done after surgery? This is something that other patients don't experience, and for this reason, the patient's daily life is being disrupted as if he had had surgery again, and the cost of the medication was also charged to the patient. They said it wasn't a big deal, so they reopened the corneal flap. It doesn't seem to happen often to other patients, so I'm very disappointed in the hospital's response.

    For those who are concerned: Do not get Smile LASIK B&BIT officials: Please respond. It has been 6 months since Smile LASIK ‘Pro’ surgery and my vision is not improving at all. Instead, it got worse. Dryness is not the problem. Please stop irresponsibly saying it's because of dryness. I received confirmation after testing at several ophthalmology clinics in Korea and the United States. How can we move forward? I don't know if I can trust B&Bit anymore. Do you have any data on patients who have improved in this condition through B&Bit? As it stands, I absolutely cannot recommend Smile LASIK performed by B&BIT to anyone. Additionally, considering the way B&Bit handles post-surgery problems, B&Bit is the worst. It is someone’s “eye.” It's not a limb, it's an eye. Eyes. If there is a low probability that the surgery results are not good, just accept it. And please fix it as much as possible. Please treat and manage responsibly to the best of your ability. At least give a sense of stability to patients with eye problems. What on earth should you do if your eye is damaged and you cannot trust the hospital that performed the surgery? The review will be updated at any time if there is a future update from B&Bit and the results are available. Please respond. Some people will leave reviews without contacting you personally so that everyone can see this post. I hope that B&Bit will not remain an irresponsible LASIK ‘factory’. LASIK specialty hospitals are still hospitals that deal with patients’ ‘eyes.’ Rather than conducting business like a factory, please look after each and every person like a hospital.

    (Korean/English) After receiving Smile LASIK surgery from Dr. X-Rim Lee in 2022 Can't see properly in right eye Afterwards, I returned to the hospital several times to discuss the situation. Another doctor came and gave me a consultation, talked about dry eye and only prescribed eye drops. It's definitely not due to dry eyes. No matter how many eye drops I put, it doesn’t get better. It's been 2 years now and it's the same My eyes and life were ruined in an instant. ---- In 2022, I got SMILE Surgery with this clinic. After the surgery, my right eye can't focus everything well. astigmatism that even glasses and lenses can't solve. My right eye went broken totally. I visited the clinic to see the doctor and improve my situation. But every time I went they said it's due to dry eyes. But it's not, it's not because of dry eye. They are lying. I tried eye drops hundreds of times. It didn't work. I couldn't even see a surgeon who actually operated the surgery on me, EVERYTIME! 2 years passed. Nothing changed. I never recommend this clinic, Bnvit. Bnvit ruined my eye and life in one moment.

    I had my surgery yesterday and it went very well. I was followed and helped from the beginning to the end and even during the operation, all the staff of B&VIIT center are very professional and caring. I advise you to come to Korea already to visit the country is very beautiful but especially to do the operation if you wear glasses. Thank you B&VIIT

    I had a great experience at B&VIIT Eye Center. The staff was super friendly and the Lasek surgery I got there worked wonders for my vision, with a good post-op care. The whole experience was smooth, and I'm happy with the results.

    An optometry examination for Smile Lasik surgery was performed at the most famous ‘B&BIT Gangnam Bright World Eye Clinic’ in Gangnam. All the staff are friendly, and the interior of the hospital is large and clean! For LASIK/LASIK/lens implantation surgery, I recommend B&BIT Gangnam Bright World Ophthalmology Clinic.
