No Alcohol
We recommend abstaining from alcohol 2-3 days before surgery. Alcohol dehydrates the body and may affect corneal recovery.

Pre-Surgery Preparation
Great vision starts with thorough preparation.
Surgical outcomes depend as much on the patient's careful
preparation as on the medical team's skill.
Gangnam Tokyo Eye Clinic provides a comprehensive pre-surgery guide
designed for safe surgery with zero margin for error.
The First Step to Accurate Corneal Measurement:
Stop Wearing Lenses
Lenses temporarily alter the shape of the cornea.
To restore the original corneal shape and obtain accurate surgical data,
you must observe the following periods.
- Soft Lenses
4-7days
- Toric Lenses
7days
- Hard Lenses (RGP)
10-14days
- Ortho-K Lenses
1month
If examination and surgery are performed on the same day, the discontinuation period must be strictly observed for precise laser planning.
Lifestyle & Condition Management
Maintaining optimal condition for the best surgical results
Adequate Rest
Please get at least 7 hours of quality sleep the night before surgery
to minimize eye fatigue.
Dry Eye Management
If you have dry eyes, use artificial tears frequently
to maintain optimal corneal condition.
Current Medications
If you are taking any medications (especially aspirin, steroids, etc.),
please inform the medical staff in advance.

Surgery Day Checklist
- Makeup
Only basic skincare (toner, lotion) is allowed.
Sunscreen/BB cream/eye makeup is prohibited.
(To prevent corneal infection and equipment errors) - Perfume & Hair Products
Laser equipment is sensitive to odors and humidity.
Please refrain from using perfume, spray,
or strongly scented skincare products. - Clothing Choice
Choose comfortable shirts or cardigans (button/zipper type) rather than hoodies or tight-necked clothing. This prevents eye irritation when changing or removing clothes after surgery.
- Do Not Drive Yourself
Vision will be blurry immediately after surgery.
Please use public transportation
or arrange for someone to drive you.
