My sister recently underwent Corneal Strengthening at SNU Eye Clinic with Dr. Won Yeo Kyoung, and I thought I’d share our experience since I couldn’t find many firsthand stories before her treatment.
She was diagnosed with early corneal weakening during a routine eye examination after noticing gradual changes in her vision. During the consultation, Dr. Won Yeo Kyoung carefully explained her condition, why corneal strengthening was recommended, and what the procedure could realistically achieve. We appreciated that everything was explained clearly, including the recovery timeline and follow-up care.
The procedure itself was completed on the same day and was much quicker than we expected. She experienced some discomfort and light sensitivity for the first couple of days, but the clinic had already prepared us for that, so it wasn’t surprising. She followed the prescribed eye drop schedule and attended all her follow-up appointments.
Over the following weeks, her eyes gradually became more comfortable, and her test results showed that the cornea had stabilized. While the treatment wasn’t meant to improve vision immediately, it helped prevent further progression, which gave her a lot of peace of mind.
