    I visited for early-stage cataract, and they explained everything well and prescribed good medication, so I’m being treated well. I plan to go for check-ups every 2 to 3 months and pick up my eye drops. Thank you.

    Both of my in-laws are being treated here, and the doctor is very kind and pleasant. They both had cataract surgery, and the doctor explained everything well during the procedure and provided great post-operative care, which was nice.

    I came in because my dry eyes were really bad, but they said I've also developed presbyopia. I'm so sad.

    I took my mother, who turns 70 this year, for an eye examination at Gangnam Shinsegae Eye Clinic. The hospital was clean, spacious, and good. Their diagnostic system was well-organized since they handled everything in one stop. My mom underwent basic vision tests, retina scans, eye pressure testing for glaucoma, and cataract testing. The doctor carefully explained the examination results. Despite her age, her eyesight is good, but she does have early signs of cataracts, which means she might see blurry and have some discomfort. The right eye seems to have progressed a bit more. We decided to keep an eye on it for a few months with follow-up tests. The doctor explains clearly and precisely. I'm keeping my mom's eye health monitored at Gangnam Shinsegae Eye Clinic. I'm satisfied and recommend it.

    It's the eye clinic I've been visiting since 20 years ago, right near my home. All my family members go here, and my parents have all had cataract surgery here as well. The doctor is the epitome of cool both then and now, and he's always calm. He not only prescribes eye drops but also takes care of the prescription for glasses and even addresses those little chunks of debris in the eyelids that other places might miss. He doesn't charge excessively for cataract surgery, and while he can be a bit cold, he explains everything as it is. Maybe that's why so many elderly people come here. There are a lot of patients, he performs many surgeries, and depending on the severity of dry eye syndrome, he varies the prescriptions while always making sure to discuss important precautions. I hope he stays healthy until I have my cataract surgery.

    I came in because my eyes were hurting so badly that I couldn't open them, but the young doctor was very kind and explained everything well. After the examination, they also explained the cataract test, so I was really grateful.

    I had cataract surgery with multifocal treatment at Seongmo Eye Hospital, and my vision is now really good. I'm continuing to receive eye care. The facility is equipped with many devices including advanced equipment, and both the doctor and the medical staff are very friendly.

    I went in for a regular cataract exam and suddenly received a diagnosis of retinal detachment, requiring emergency surgery. If it weren’t for the careful attention of the doctor, I could have been at risk of losing my sight, so I'm really grateful. I was also nervous, but thanks to the skilled doctor, I recovered well. I highly recommend them! ^^

    I am a 66-year-old woman. In the past, I visited for a tear gland condition. Recently, I’ve been showing signs of cataracts, so I come every two months. The wait time is long, but the staff is very kind, so I only trust our eye clinic.

    I had surgery for a retinal hole and cataracts in my left eye at the same time. I did it on Wednesday, and today is the fourth day, and I still have to lie face down. They say the surgery went well, but I think I’ll have to wait a few days to see the results.

    I had cataract surgery. The attending physician's name is Dr. Choi Gi-yong. I had the cataract surgery on July 2, and I've been seeing the doctor once a week, but since there haven't been any issues, I'm just going to go back in a month for a follow-up, and if everything looks good, I’ll get my new glasses prescription and that’ll be the end of my treatment. There's been no pain after the surgery, and I'm recovering without any problems. At first, I was really worried about whether my vision would come back, and if I would go blind or not. I think I had all kinds of concerns. After the surgery at the hospital, I followed the post-op instructions and if I just apply the eye drops well, it seems like I can fully recover from cataracts. After the surgery, for about a week, I was told to avoid getting water on my face, so I couldn’t wash my face, and I could only shower below my neck. They even said not to wash my hair. This week has been quite uncomfortable. I think it’s better to avoid surgery in the summer like this. Haha

    I received treatment from Dr. Baek Jong-heon at Samsung Eye Hospital. I had to wait an hour and a half today, maybe because it was the day after a holiday; usually, I have to wait about an hour on weekdays as well. The doctor always explains things well, speaking in a calm and low tone as if treating a first-time patient, which makes my parents feel good when they come back from the hospital. This time I brought my mom with me, and she was prescribed eye drops for her cataracts. I was told to shake the bottle and use it three times a day. It's supposed to help delay the cataracts. My mom finds the drops a bit of a hassle, so she's considering just getting the cataract surgery done, but since it is surgery, I think it would be better to wait and keep using the drops.

2 frequently asked questions

  • I can see well for most things, but the text in books and on my phone is not clear. How much does presbyopia surgery cost? How long will the results last? I was born in 1972.

    Hello. This is Clear Seoul Eye Clinic. For presbyopia, both presbyopic LASIK and multifocal lenses are possible. However, if you have good distance vision, presbyopic LASIK may be less suitable, and it is advisable to proceed with multifocal lens treatment. Unlike presbyopic LASIK, the multifocal lens implantation is a permanent procedure. Thank you.

  • I would like to correct astigmatism during cataract surgery. Is that possible?

    Hello. This is Clear Seoul Eye Clinic. We also have toric intraocular lenses for correcting astigmatism among the artificial lenses for cataract surgery. Thank you.
