Hello, this is Eyereum Eye Clinic in Gangnam.
Many people plan vision correction procedures, such as SMILE LASIK and LASEK, by taking advantage of the long Chuseok holiday.
For office workers and students who usually find it difficult to schedule exams or surgery dates, holidays offer an ideal opportunity. If you are planning vision correction surgery during the Chuseok holiday, be sure to check the clinic's holiday schedule, pre-examination preparation guidelines, and post-operative appointment schedules in advance!
Eyereum Eye Clinic Chuseok Holiday Clinic Schedule: Sep 23 (Wed) – 25 (Fri, Chuseok)
Since exam and surgery reservations tend to fill up quickly during holidays, please check and confirm your schedule early if you have a preferred date!
In particular, if you are planning same-day (one-day) SMILE LASIK or same-day vision correction surgery during the holiday, please let us know in advance when booking your exam! We will guide you through the necessary preparations for both examination and surgery.

Examination and Surgery in One Day: Same-Day Surgery Guide
At Eyereum Eye Clinic, if comprehensive examination results confirm you are an eligible candidate, same-day vision correction surgery—proceeding with both exam and surgery on the same day—is available. You can also receive an additional discount benefit when booking a same-day surgery.
Depending on comprehensive examination results, the following procedures can be performed on the same day:
✔️ Low-Energy SMILE LASIK / SMILE Pro
✔️ Smart Nova
✔️ 2-Day LASEK
✔️ ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)
✔️ Presbyopic LASIK
Examinations take around 2 hours, and if you proceed to surgery on the same day, the entire process takes about 3 to 4 hours. Please keep this in mind and plan your schedule with plenty of time!
Same-Day Surgery Preparation _Contact Lenses OFF Soft Lenses: 5 days or more Hard Lenses: 7 days or more Dream Lenses (Ortho-K): 30 days or more | ||
Preparation for Same-Day (One-Day) Vision Correction Surgery
For accurate examinations and surgery, please strictly observe the recommended lens discontinuation period.
For same-day surgery, you must discontinue lens wear as follows:
Soft lenses: at least 5 days, Hard lenses: at least 7 days, Dream lenses (Ortho-K): at least 30 days.
👓 If you currently wear glasses, please bring them with you when visiting the clinic. They help us assess recent refractive changes and perform precise evaluations.
Because same-day vision correction proceeds directly to surgery if your eye conditions are suitable after the exam, you should carefully prepare for the procedure beforehand.
⚠️ In particular, surgical lasers are sensitive to fragrances, so please refrain from using perfume or sprays and visit with only basic toner/lotion applied to your face.
👕👖 Additionally, wear comfortable clothing suitable for lying on the surgical bed. Hoodies or one-piece dresses may be uncomfortable.
🧢🕶️ Please prepare a hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays on your way home after surgery!
Holiday Vision Correction: Remember to Plan for Post-Operative Care
Just as vital as accurate pre-operative examinations and successful surgery is
post-operative follow-up care. Eyereum Eye Clinic recommends that you plan your surgical schedule taking post-operative appointment dates into account.
An initial follow-up visit is essential within 1 to 2 days after SMILE LASIK or ICL surgery, and within 2 to 3 days after LASEK surgery.
If you are planning to travel or visit your hometown during the holiday, please also check your flight schedule in advance.
For SMILE, LASIK, and ICL surgeries, boarding an airplane is possible starting the day after surgery; however, it is best to plan your travels after completing your first follow-up consultation. For LASEK, please schedule your travel after the therapeutic protective lens has been removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is one-day surgery (both examination and surgery on the same day) possible?
Yes, if comprehensive examination results confirm that your eyes are suitable for surgery, both the examination and the procedure can be completed on the same day. Examinations take approximately 2 hours, and the total duration with surgery is around 3 to 4 hours, so planning your day with ample time is recommended.
How many days in advance should I stop wearing contact lenses before a same-day exam?
You must stop wearing soft contact lenses for at least 5 days, hard lenses for at least 7 days, and Dream lenses (Ortho-K) for at least 30 days. Discontinuing contact lenses for the designated period is essential for precise diagnostic results and safe surgery.
Are there any precautions I should take on the day of surgery?
Avoid perfumes or aerosol sprays and dress in comfortable clothing. Surgical lasers are sensitive to scents, so please apply only basic facial toner and lotion. Wear comfortable clothes suitable for lying down on the surgical bed, and bring sunglasses, a hat for UV protection, and your current glasses.
When can I board an airplane after SMILE LASIK?
You can board an airplane starting the day after SMILE LASIK surgery. However, because an essential initial checkup is scheduled within 1 to 2 days post-op, it is strongly advised to schedule your flights and travel plans after attending this first follow-up appointment.
When is the appropriate time to travel after LASEK surgery?
For LASEK, it is recommended to plan travel after the therapeutic protective lens has been safely removed. Since your initial follow-up visit must take place within 2 to 3 days after surgery, be sure to coordinate your holiday visits or travel schedules in advance so they do not overlap.
