Lasik is cheaper in Canada. The price of LASIK here is on par with that in the US. Seoul maybe a little more expensive depending on the clinic you go to. |

Wasn't lasik surgery discovered/invented in Canada? I think I read that somewhere. |

I had it done back in 2003 at a place near Gangnam station exit 7(?). Cost 2mil, and I haven't gone blind yet. With the amount the other customers and I were paying, the doctors running the place were rolling in cash.
The surgeon who did my eyes also did some lecturing in the US or something so his English was near native-perfect. Something like Yonsei Eye Clinic. It's the building with the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on the 2nd floor right near the station. Can't remember what floor the clinic was on though. |

i had mine done at Yonsei Eye Clinic just outside the mokdong subway station. had it done 2 months ago and am super impressed with the results. i have no complaints. the clinic is 2 graduates from Yonsei. the younger one speaks English better than the older one. wasnt perfect but good enough. they discounted mine to 1,400,000 won total because i knew one of the doctor's friends. not sure what the price is without a discount but i think it is better than most |
