B&VIIT Eye Center Seoul: LASIK, SMILE & ICL for International Patients
What does B&VIIT Eye Center offer?
B&VIIT Eye Center (비앤빛안과의원) is a private ophthalmology clinic focused on vision correction. The Korea Tourism Organization's VISITKOREA Medical & Wellness listing names six procedure groups: SMILE Pro, SMILE, LASIK, LASEK, phakic intraocular lenses (PIOL) and refractive cataract surgery.
The clinic's English website adds detail on two of these. It promotes Toric ICL(an implantable collamer lens for astigmatism) and describes a "One-day Surgery" option where examination and surgery happen on the same day. Its cataract page describes refractive cataract surgery that can address cataract, presbyopia and refractive error together, using monofocal, multifocal or extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) lenses, and a bladeless laser cataract option.
The clinic states it has "30 Years of experience", "550,000 Eye surgeries completed", 15 ophthalmologists, 180 medical staff, 60 types of detailed eye exam and 120 published research papers. These are the clinic's own figures and have not been independently verified here.
What technology does the clinic say it uses?
The English site names an "A.I. Vision Correction Prediction System" used in planning, and a proprietary refractive cataract surgery system it calls "B&VIIT CRS", which it says improves safety and accuracy. The pages we could read do not name the specific femtosecond or excimer laser models, so ask which platform would be used for your procedure (for SMILE Pro, that is normally the ZEISS VisuMax 800 – see our VisuMax 500 vs 800 guide).

How does the foreign-patient process work?
The VISITKOREA listing says the clinic provides interpretation coordinators in English and Chinese, foreign-language information materials and an exclusive lounge and consultation room for international visitors. The English site offers online consultation and asks patients to book at least three days before their visit; patient testimonials on the site refer to a dedicated international patient manager.
Because same-day surgery is offered, plan for a long first day: a full pre-operative eye exam usually takes several hours, and you should stop wearing contact lenses beforehand as instructed by the clinic. Same-day surgery is only appropriate if the exam confirms you are a suitable candidate.
Where is it and how do I get there?
GT Tower stands on Seocho-daero beside Gangnam Station (Line 2 and the Shinbundang Line), on the Seocho-gu side of the station. Confirm the exit and floor with the clinic when you book. If you are flying in, our Incheon Airport to Gangnam guide and where to stay near Gangnam eye clinics cover the journey and nearby hotels.
How does B&VIIT compare with our procedure guides?
The procedures listed match the standard Seoul menu. For background on each option, see our guides to SMILE Pro, LASIK, ICL and cataract surgery. The clinic's English pages we reviewed did not publish prices, so we do not quote any here. For context only, our SMILE Pro cost guide and ICL cost guide give Seoul-wide ranges; ask B&VIIT for a written quote that states whether it covers one or both eyes, the exam, medication and follow-up visits.
What should I ask B&VIIT before booking?
- Which laser platform (model and generation) will be used for my procedure?
- Which surgeon will operate, and will I meet them before surgery day?
- If my exam shows I am not suitable for my preferred procedure, what alternatives do you recommend and why?
- What is included in the quoted price, and is it per eye or both eyes?
- How many follow-up visits do I need before flying home, and how is aftercare handled once I leave Korea?
- Can I receive my exam results and surgical record in English?
Our full list is in questions to ask a LASIK surgeon. Every refractive procedure carries risks, including dry eye, glare and halos, and under- or over-correction; only a full exam and an ophthalmologist's advice can tell you which option, if any, suits your eyes.
