One of its specialized medical services, NURI Smile LASIK, involves a minimal 2mm incision, reducing corneal damage, and uses the VISUMAX femtosecond laser to minimize side effects and complications, allowing patients to resume daily activities the next day.

This procedure uniquely corrects astigmatism with femtosecond laser technology, considering both anterior and posterior corneal surfaces and compensating for ocular cyclotorsion, a feature exclusive to its facility in Korea.
