I have been considering vision correction surgery because I am tired of relying on glasses and contact lenses for everyday activities. While researching eye clinics in Korea, I came across SMILE Pro at **[Seoul BGSS Eye Clinic](https://www.seoulbgsseyeclinic.com/)** and wanted to learn more about whether it could be suitable for correcting myopia and astigmatism. I would be interested in consulting **[Dr. Jong-Ho Lee](https://www.seoulbgsseyeclinic.com/doctors/jong-ho-lee-3)** to understand my prescription, corneal condition, and overall eye health before making a decision.

One of my main concerns would be safety and recovery. I would ask about the preoperative eye examinations, how the procedure works, potential side effects such as dry eyes or temporary visual disturbances, and how long it might take for my vision to stabilize. I would also want to understand whether my corneal thickness and prescription make me a suitable candidate, since not everyone qualifies for laser vision correction.

As an international patient, I would also need to plan my stay in Korea around the procedure and postoperative examinations. I would confirm how many follow-up visits are recommended, when it would be safe to fly home, and what restrictions apply to exercise, screen use, and other daily activities during recovery. Overall, SMILE Pro may be an option worth exploring, but an individualized assessment at Seoul BGSS Eye Clinic would be essential to determine eligibility, expected results, and the most appropriate vision correction method.
