One-Day LASIK
Same-day examination and surgery for your convenience
What is One-Day LASIK?
One-Day LASIK is a highly efficient vision correction program that completes both the comprehensive examination and surgery on the same day. It uses the same methods and equipment as standard LASIK but features an optimized pre-operative screening system to condense the entire process into a single visit.
Ideal for busy professionals, those with limited vacation time, and patients traveling from outside Seoul who find multiple visits difficult. You undergo examination in the morning, and if deemed suitable, surgery is performed that same afternoon.
However, if the examination reveals that surgery is not advisable or additional testing is required, the surgery schedule may be adjusted to prioritize patient safety.
Benefits of One-Day LASIK
Same-Day Exam + Surgery
Receive your comprehensive examination in the morning and undergo surgery the same afternoon if eligible. Perfect for busy professionals and out-of-town patients.
10-Minute Procedure
The procedure for both eyes is completed in approximately 10 minutes. High-speed excimer laser delivery ensures precise and swift correction.
Vision Recovery by Next Day
Vision typically recovers to 20/20 or better by the next day, and most patients can resume normal activities immediately.
Proven Safety Record
A well-established surgical method backed by over 20 years of clinical data, performed safely by our experienced medical team at Raum Smile Eye Clinic.
Surgical Procedure
STEP 1. Comprehensive Examination (approx. 1-2 hours)
Over 50 precision tests measure corneal thickness, refractive errors, intraocular pressure, and pupil size to determine surgical eligibility.
STEP 2. Corneal Flap Creation
A femtosecond laser precisely creates a thin, uniform corneal flap on the surface.
STEP 3. Excimer Laser Correction
The flap is lifted and an excimer laser reshapes the corneal stroma to correct refractive errors.
STEP 4. Flap Repositioning & Completion
The flap is repositioned for natural adhesion. No sutures are required.
