Verify that the recipient details match the official payment instructions before paying.

QDoes booking an examination at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic guarantee a visa or entry to Korea?+
Applies to Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic · Gangnam · Hospital common FAQs · Gangnam
No. A clinic appointment and visa or entry decisions are separate. Check the requirements for your nationality, country of residence, purpose and length of stay with the relevant Korean diplomatic mission or official visa service. Ask separately whether the clinic can issue any required appointment documents and how long preparation takes.
QCan I ask about a hotel or airport transfer for my clinic visit?+
Applies to Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic · Gangnam · Hospital common FAQs · Gangnam
You can ask Aurora about the accommodation and transport support you need. Availability, transfer routes and waiting time, nights and room type, fees and cancellation terms need separate confirmation.

QCan I visit Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic alone, and what if I need mobility assistance?+
Applies to Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic · Gangnam · Hospital common FAQs · Gangnam
Tell the booking team if you plan to visit alone. Discuss with the clinic whether you will need someone with you after the examination or surgery and how you will travel back.

If you need an escort or caregiving as well as interpretation, ask separately about the role and cost.
QWhat should I do if my flight is delayed or I will be late for my clinic appointment?+

QCan I receive examination results and a surgery summary in English before returning home?+
Applies to Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic · Gangnam · Hospital common FAQs · Gangnam
If you need records in English, tell Aurora in advance so availability, fees and preparation time can be checked.

Also confirm how to receive them before departure.
QWhat should I do if I do not fully understand the surgical explanation or consent form?+
Applies to Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic · Gangnam · Hospital common FAQs · Gangnam
If you do not fully understand the explanation or consent form, do not rush to sign; ask the doctor at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic to explain again. Arrange the language support you need to understand the reason for surgery, expected benefits and risks, alternatives and costs. You can decide after your questions have been answered, and you may decline or postpone your decision. An interpreter helps communication; the doctor remains responsible for explaining the medical issues and need for surgery.
QWho will receive the personal information or medical records I send for my clinic visit?+
Applies to Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic · Gangnam · Hospital common FAQs · Gangnam
Information needed for booking or medical review may be shared with Aurora or the clinic, depending on how you enquire and the support requested. Before sending it, ask which organisation will receive it, why, what will be shared and what consent is needed. If you are unsure why medical records are requested for accommodation or transport, ask first. Send only the necessary parts of your own or a family member’s records through the advised channel.
QWho should I contact about a concern with clinic care or Aurora’s support?+
Applies to Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic · Gangnam · Hospital common FAQs · Gangnam
Contact the Aurora channel you used with your appointment date, the concern and the help you need.
