LASEK (PRK) in Seoul Korea
LASEK(PRK)
Minimize side effects arising from corneal damage!
All laser LASEK is a procedure during which the corneal epithelium is removed with an excimer laser, and vision is corrected before the cornea is covered with a protective lens.
- 1. Removal of the epithelium
- 2. Laser removes tissue by multiple pulse photoablation to change the shape of the cornea.
- 3. Bandage contact lens inserted.
B&VIIT was the first in Korea to introduce LASEK
Having begun by introducing LASEK to Korea in 1999, we have been further developing improved surgical methods based on ceaseless clinical research in collaboration with university hospitals and specialized research institutions.

EX500
The lowest amount of corneal removal in the world! Optimized for high myopia and astigmatism.

Amaris Red
The highest speed in the world! Fortified safety through 7-dimensional eyeball tracking.
B&VIIT customized laser LASEK
B&VIIT performs surgical procedures that drastically supplement the shortcomings of LASEK, including pain and corneal opacity, by applying clinical expertise based on extended research in the development of more desirable procedures.
Advantages of All-laser LASEK
- Possible to minimize associated side effects since the area of the cornea cut-out is small.
- Appropriate for those who engage in an extensive range of activities, since it is sturdy against external impacts.
Disadvantages of All-laser LASEK
- Greater pain and slower recovery in comparison to LASIK.
- Corneal opacity can occur, and long-term postoperative care is required.

---|---|---|---|---|
Advanced | 💙SMILE Pro - 4X faster than previous versions - Surgery time within 10 seconds |
💙PersonalEYES LASIK - Precise correction, even for high-order aberrations - Reduces glare and residual astigmatism |
💙PersonalEYES LASEK - Precise correction, even for high-order aberrations - Reduces glare and residual astigmatism |
💙Viva ICL - Corrects both presbyopia and myopia - Uses EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) technology |
Basic | SMILE | LASIK | LASEK (PRK) | Available for myopia and astigmatism |
Method | No flap, minimally invasive | Flap creation followed by laser correction | Epithelium removed before laser correction | A 2–3mm incision is made at the edge of the cornea to insert a custom lens behind the iris |
Characteristics | High safety and fast recovery | Less pain and fast recovery | Resistant to external impact | No corneal tissue removal Safe for high prescriptions and thin corneas Minimizes risks of glare, dry eyes, and myopia regression The lens is removable and replaceable |
Best for | · Those who want quick recovery · Those with dry eyes · Those needing correction for myopia or astigmatism |
· Those who cannot take long breaks from work · Those sensitive to pain · Those needing astigmatism correction · Corneal thickness over 500μm |
· Those with very thin corneas or very small eyes · Those with severe dry eyes · Those engaged in activities that impact the eyes |
· Those who cannot undergo laser eye surgery due to ultra-high myopia or astigmatism · Those with very thin corneas · Those with great fear of surgery |
Postoperative Care | - | Avoid any impact or pressure on the eyes right after surgery | Requires 3–6 months of care | Requires regular check-up and caution to prevent impact |
Postoperative Check-ups | Day after surgery, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year postop | Same schedule | Day after surgery, 4 days postop, and long-term care for 3–6 months | Every week for 1 month, and regular check-up required |
Pain and Downtime | · Minimal discomfort · Return to daily life by next day |
· Minimal discomfort · Return to daily life by next day |
