    UnverifiedSeoul On Eye Clinic

    The hospital was easy to find because it was less than 100 meters straight ahead from Exit 8 of Bulgwang Station on Subway Line 3. My eyesight had gotten worse, and my eyes felt blurry, tired, and heavy, so I visited for the first time on a friend's recommendation. I was impressed by how large and clean the hospital was. There were a lot of patients, but since I had made an appointment, I didn't have to wait very long. A nurse guided me through several different tests, and then I had a consultation with the director. The director said it was typical Presbyopia and that, thankfully, I didn't have Cataract or glaucoma, which I had been worried about. I received a prescription for glasses, but when the nurse mentioned reading glasses, I decided to pass on those. All the staff and the director were kind, and the director explained everything well, so I came away with a good impression of the hospital.

    As I'm getting older, I'm struggling with presbyopia, and I really appreciate the kind and thorough explanation about aftercare. I definitely need to get glasses, thank you for the clear explanations and care.

    I came in because everything looked blurry, maybe because of presbyopia, and it got much better after the treatment. The nurse was so kind.

    I received basic tests and treatment related to cataracts and presbyopia. Saturdays always have a lot of patients waiting, so usually, you have to wait for over 2 hours. If you go after 9 AM without an appointment, you won’t be able to register for your consultation, so keep that in mind. Generally, for cataracts, they don’t automatically recommend surgery; instead, they suggest starting with eye drops and other medications, which can help prevent unnecessary surgery. The typical examination includes not just basic vision tests but various eye tests that compare the current situation with the past, allowing for appropriate treatment as the condition progresses. It’s great because you can receive reliable check-ups and consultations.

    I had cataract surgery on my right eye. I had the surgery yesterday, and when I took off the bandage today, everything looks so different. I was really worried, but I have my left eye surgery coming up in two weeks, and I can't wait to get it done. The nurses were incredibly kind, which made the experience so much better. The doctor was also very nice!

    I usually have severe eye problems because of my rhinitis. After getting a prescription and using the eye drops today, I feel like the itching has eased a bit. I have a feeling it’ll get better if I keep using the drops. I had cataract surgery here with Dr. Kang last year, and I’m happy with it. I’ve been coming in for regular checkups. I also got a prescription for reading glasses.

    I'm still in my 40s, but I have a family history of glaucoma, so I go for regular eye check-ups. I specifically sought out Dr. Joong-woo because he is a clinical professor in the glaucoma/cataract department at Asan Hospital. Since I have family members suffering from glaucoma, I have a significant fear about it.. ㅠㅠ Even though I only go for my check-up once a year, the doctors who conduct the exams are always friendly, so I left feeling good. Basically, they check my vision, eye pressure, optic nerve, visual field, and so on. Sometimes I have trouble understanding because of my hearing issues, but both the doctor and the staff kindly clarify things for me without getting annoyed, so I can't imagine going to another hospital haha. I saw in the reviews that they do a great job with children's exams as well, so I might bring my kids next time.

    Maybe because of presbyopia, my vision had been blurry lately, and I couldn't even read the small print in the newspaper. After seeing the doctor and getting a prescription, it improved a lot.

    After making an appointment, I visited Easy Spring. From the entrance, the staff was so friendly and parking was convenient. This was my third visit for an internal medicine issue, and the doctor and the nurses at the reception were all kind and provided detailed explanations, which I really appreciated. It’s a pleasant place. It's quite rare to find such a friendly hospital in Jeju. I really appreciate that the doctor didn’t pressure me into surgery but gave me options and suggested we wait a bit longer to see how things develop.

    I visited the hospital because my left eye felt like a mirage was rising, but they said if it was due to presbyopia, there’s no other prescription, just that severe cases could benefit from laser treatment.

    I had cataract surgery with Dr. Kim Joo-eun. She was very nice and explained everything before and after the surgery so well that I had no further questions. Now that I can see so clearly after the surgery, I regret waiting so long and living with cloudy vision. I decided to start with my left eye and do my right eye after the holidays. The right eye is fine for now, but to keep my eyesight balanced, I decided to do both at once. Cataract surgery is so straightforward, and I could see well the very next day. If anyone is hesitating or thinking just a little longer, don’t overthink it—just go for a consultation and have the surgery! My vision has improved so much that it feels like my world has changed. Don’t worry about spending a bit more money; the results are worth it. Experience life with bright eyes before you get older. Let's go for it!

    I went to Dr. Lee Kyung-ho at Bongdam Eye Clinic to have cataract surgery on my right eye, and I found the hospital facilities to be as clean, spacious, and comfortable as a university hospital. The nursing staff were very friendly, and Dr. Lee Kyung-ho explained my eye condition in detail, which reassured me to go ahead with the cataract surgery. During my stay in the recovery room after the surgery, the nurses frequently checked on my eye status and made sure I had no discomfort. When I returned for a follow-up visit today, Dr. Lee Kyung-ho told me to be careful and said the surgery went very well, making me feel really happy about being able to see a brighter world ahead.

    I visit this place at least once or twice a month, haha. Especially in spring and fall, it feels like home. The only ophthalmologist in Jae-song-dong is kind and has a lot of experience with cataract surgeries; he's really skilled. The other doctors are also friendly, and since I've been coming here for a long time, it always feels comfortable to be in this clinic.

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.
