    Maybe it's due to presbyopia, but I've been experiencing a lot of tearing, stinging, and pain. After treatment and taking the prescribed medication, I've felt much better. The nurses are very kind.

    My eyes are all cloudy and I can't see when I wake up in the morning. I wondered if it was just old age, so I went for a check-up. They told me to stop looking at my phone so much ㅠㅠ and prescribed artificial tears.

    After my first visit, I've been recommending this place to all my family and friends. The interior is clean and comfortable, and they have all the necessary testing equipment. There's no need to go to a big hospital, and the doctor's kind and detailed diagnosis helped brighten my life after cataract surgery. The staff at Bom Eye Clinic are also friendly and great. I highly recommend it ~~^^*

    I've had serious cataracts and astigmatism for a while, so I decided to take advantage of the year-end holidays to undergo surgery. The surgery went really well, and I'm so grateful that I can see properly again. The hospital facilities are top-notch, comparable to a university hospital, and the examination was very thorough. The staff was also very friendly and explained everything well. I highly recommend Central Seoul Eye Clinic.

    I went to get my eyes checked because they seemed blurry, possibly due to aging, and I appreciated how kind they were during the examination and consultation.

    I had trouble seeing due to presbyopia, so I went for a basic exam along with various tests and consultations. Thankfully, they said there were no special symptoms.

    The hospital has only recently opened, so the facilities are very neat and clean. The female doctor is incredibly kind during consultations. I visited based on a friend's recommendation. Lately, I've been experiencing very dim vision and blurry sight, and the most uncomfortable thing is that I can't see nearby text clearly, which makes daily life difficult. The doctor said I needed to be tested, so I underwent basic vision tests, intraocular pressure measurement, fundus examination, and tests for glaucoma, cataracts, and the optic nerve. The testing process went smoothly without much pain, and the optometrist was kind. The results indicated that presbyopia is progressing, and I have severe dry eye and lens opacity. There are no immediate treatments needed, but I was told that regular follow-up tests are necessary. My right eye also shows allergy symptoms, so I received a prescription for additional eye drops. This is a trustworthy ophthalmology clinic. The doctor is very skilled and kind.

    It's a large eye clinic with 11 ophthalmologists. The building is big and has multiple floors, with specialized centers divided throughout. I visited with my mom, who is quite elderly and has ongoing cataracts, so we had a check-up and a consultation about surgery. Since it was her first visit and we didn't have an appointment, we arrived early in the morning and had to wait over an hour just to see the doctor. Maybe because there was a lot of expectation for the surgery, I noticed a few elderly patients complaining. They say they can see everything without glasses, but still have difficulties. The medical staff kindly repeats the same explanations multiple times. My mom decided to postpone the surgery for now and got a prescription for cataract treatment eye drops.

    My mother, who is very fearful and had repeatedly hesitated even about making an appointment, finally decided to have the surgery after watching many people she knew go through the process afterward, and she met Dr. Hwang. In a word, he was kind. Cataract surgery may be common among older people, but surgery is still scary, isn't it? He explained everything slowly, even giving examples so that older patients could understand well, which helped my very timid mother feel reassured. What I especially liked was that when it came to choosing a lens, he didn't simply recommend the most expensive one. Instead, he related it to my mother's situation and said that something in the middle range might be best. That actually made me trust him more. We plan to have her cataract surgery here in the future.

    I have undergone two retinal surgeries at Seoul Shinsegae Eye Hospital and continue to go for check-ups. I've had retinal exams and eye pressure tests to see how much my cataract has progressed. Dr. Hyun-Seek Yeom has a calm demeanor and speaks with a comforting expression, which always puts my mind at ease. He suggests we should proceed with surgery only when it becomes more uncomfortable, advises that I might need reading glasses in the future, but for now, I can just carry on without unnecessary orders. My eye pressure is normal, and my surgical progress is not bad. He mentioned that he'll keep a close watch on the progression of the cataract, so today he said there's no need for a prescription. This really makes the patient feel at ease.

    I visited because of my dad's cataract surgery~ The doctor and the nurses were all so kind. The surgery went really well without any pain, and the doctor has golden hands^^ All the staff welcomed us warmly and explained everything in detail, which made us feel at ease. My dad said he barely felt any pain during the procedure. Thanks to the doctor's skilled hands, the surgery seemed to end very successfully, and I, as a guardian, was very satisfied. The recovery after the surgery has gone smoothly, and my dad is very happy with the results. I really want to strongly recommend this hospital to anyone considering cataract surgery. Not only do they have the skill, but their kindness made it easy to trust them with his care.

    The reviews for the New World branch in front of the terminal aren't bad, but this place doesn't seem to have a good reputation. It's nice that it's not crowded, and the doctor was fairly friendly. However, parking is tough, and the affiliated parking lot is also difficult to park in. I took my mother for a government-supported cataract surgery, but they unnecessarily recommended a more advanced procedure. My mother is an elderly woman who just needs to manage her daily life; she's not a working person, but they suggested inserting advanced lenses to improve her vision, which has a cost difference of almost 600,000 won for just one eye. I think I made the right choice going with the basic option for both eyes. It felt bitter, as it seemed like the hospital was trying to profit from it.

    My vision was blurry, so I went to the eye clinic. The doctor did all the tests and said it was presbyopia. I guess there’s nothing I can do about getting older now. ~

    My eyes were red and throbbing, so I used some eye drops I had at home, but the next day they still felt like there was something in them. Since it was a three-day holiday weekend, I decided to come in just in case. The examination showed that I had allergies and had rubbed my eyes so hard that an eyelash had gotten stuck inside. They also told me I should definitely get tested for glaucoma at least once. They explained everything quietly and calmly, so this is a hospital I’m willing to travel far to visit. My mom was also examined at Oseo Hospital and needed Cataract Surgery. She had the surgery at the hospital the doctor recommended, and her eyes improved so much that she’s very satisfied.

    I had been putting off visiting for a while because my eyes were blurry. It turns out I have cataracts. As I get older, I think it's good to go to the eye doctor every now and then, even if nothing seems wrong. I only got scared and went after my husband was diagnosed with macular degeneration. I received my cataract diagnosis at the beginning of the month, and as my medication was running out, I went back for a detailed exam. The doctor was calm and explained everything very clearly, which I really appreciated. The staff was friendly too. It would have been even better if I could have had the surgery done right away... Still, since there’s an eye clinic close to my workplace, I have to postpone the surgery since I can't take several days off. But I think as long as I keep getting my prescriptions and go in for regular check-ups until the surgery, I should be okay.

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.
