K-ClinicLaser Eye Surgery Korea With a Friend: Price & Plan 2026
At Gangnam Good Eye Clinic in Seoul, the listed prices already include a ₩100,000 companion discount. Go with a friend and you pay the listed price; go alone and you pay ₩100,000 more. Agree on contact lens break days, exam times and return dates before you fly.
Why Do Many People Go With a Friend?
Besides price, the most common reason people give for going to Korea for vision correction is this: going alone feels a little nerve-wracking. Having someone with you during the exams and on the way back to the hotel makes it much easier.
Gangnam Good Eye Clinic also offers a ₩100,000 companion discount. This article covers how much the price differs when two people go together, and how to plan the trip.
Is the Companion Discount Already in the Price?
This is the part people misunderstand most. The discounted prices on Gangnam Good Eye Clinic's price list already include three discounts: same-day surgery, an SNS post-surgery review, and the companion discount.
So it is not "₩100,000 off when two people go." Instead, two people pay the listed price, and one person going alone pays ₩100,000 more.
Take SMILE Pro as an example: two people together pay ₩4,000,000 each, while going alone costs ₩4,100,000. With a K-Clinic ₩200,000 discount coupon, that comes to ₩3,800,000 and ₩3,900,000 respectively.
How Much Does Each Procedure Cost for Two People?
| Procedure | Two people together (per person) | With coupon |
|---|---|---|
| SMILE Pro | ₩4,000,000 | ₩3,800,000 |
| SMILE Pro all-inclusive package | ₩4,500,000 | ₩4,300,000 |
| SMILE LASIK all-inclusive package | ₩2,300,000 | ₩2,200,000 |
| Evo ICL (myopia only) | ₩5,000,000 | － |
| LBV laser presbyopia correction package | ₩4,000,000 | ₩3,800,000 |
Evo ICL is currently not eligible for the discount coupon. Please confirm the detailed conditions of the companion discount (for example, whether both people must have surgery) during your consultation. Medication is paid separately at a pharmacy and costs a little over ₩40,000 for one month.
What Should Two Travelers Agree On Before the Trip?
Contact lens break days are the most likely to differ. If one of you wears daily disposables and the other wears hard lenses, the required break periods are different, so book flights according to whoever needs the longer one.
Allow generous time for exams. The detailed exam takes about 2–3 hours per person, and the clinic arranges the time slots for both of you. Don't schedule anything else that day.
Accommodation: Use the Package or Take Cash?
The SMILE Pro all-inclusive package, Evo ICL, the LBV package and Viva ICL all include accommodation plus airport drop-off, or a cash discount of up to ₩200,000 instead.
| Situation | Consider |
|---|---|
| Both of you come specifically for surgery | Accommodation plus drop-off, which saves you the hassle of arranging it |
| Combining with sightseeing, hotel already booked | Cash discount |
Please confirm where you will stay and for how many nights during your consultation.
After Surgery: Remind Each Other About Eye Drops
The post-surgery instructions are to use your eye drops as the doctor directs and rest plenty, and wear sunglasses when you go out. The advantage of going together is that you can remind each other of drop times, and neither of you has to find the way back to the hotel alone.
Both of you should tell the doctor your return travel dates during the consultation, and the doctor will confirm them based on your procedure and recovery.
Is Follow-Up Care Available After You Go Home?
Gangnam Good Eye Clinic provides post-operative follow-up care, and you can arrange a return visit or checkup at any time through K-Clinic. When you both come back to Korea for a trip, it is easy to stop by for a checkup.
