    At other hospitals, they said I had cataracts and immediately wanted to schedule surgery, but Dr. Da Bon at the ophthalmology clinic suggested that I come in every month or two to monitor my eye health. So I haven’t had the surgery yet. It’s already been two years, and my eye pressure and vision have remained stable. It seems like they prioritize the patient's eye health over just rushing into surgery, which makes me trust them more.

    Dr. Kim Kyu-tae provides the best care sincerely for patients like me who have eye diseases. I've been suffering from severe cataracts accompanied by high myopia, and the director's thoughtful care and accurate treatment have been a great help. The nurses also treat me kindly as if I were family. Thank you!

    I often have redness in my left eye, so I had a consultation in March and used antibiotic eye drops. I went back today to check on my progress. They said that using antibiotics for a long time could affect cataracts. Every time I visit the hospital, Dr. Jang Hyo-joo and the nurses are so kind that I feel comfortable going for my treatments.

    I was struggling with my vision, but after treatment for presbyopia, my close-up vision has become much clearer. The discomfort and fatigue in my eyes have also decreased, making everyday life so much easier.

    The writing looks faint and my face is frowning. I visited the hospital and was told it's signs of presbyopia. Thanks to the kind explanation from the doctor, I feel relieved.

    I went for an eye exam and also checked to see if I have presbyopia. My vision has been a little blurry lately, so the doctor prescribed some eye drops that I'm currently using.

    I couldn't see well, so I went to the ophthalmologist. Since it's vacation time, there were a lot of people, and I had to wait a long time. The test results showed that I have severe cataracts, so they said I need surgery. I scheduled the surgery date and I'm planning to have it right after the Lunar New Year. I sincerely hope that the surgery goes well and I can see clearly again.

    I had severe cataracts and conjunctivitis, so I received laser treatment for my conjunctivitis. The doctors were all very kind, and there are many advanced machines that really help with the examinations and treatments. It's also conveniently located, just a 5-minute walk from the subway station. The doctors are highly skilled and perform a lot of surgeries. The hospital is even close enough that it's about a 10-minute walk to get to my doctor.

    In the end, I had Cataract Surgery on my other eye as well. I’m relieved that it seems to have gone well under Dr. Hong Jun-gi’s care. During the 15–20 minutes of the surgery, I was so tense that I couldn’t even swallow properly. Once it was over, I felt such a huge sense of relief, but I’m firmly telling myself I’ll never do it again. I did my best. I want to comfort myself.

    I felt uncomfortable as if there was something sticky in my eye, so I planned to go to the hospital I was visiting, but my mom recommended this place. Everyone here is really kind and helpful. I have cataracts that are progressing, and I've been told I have inflammation, so I need to get checked every three months. This time I brought my son with me, and they were very kind to him during the eye exam as well.

    After cataract surgery, my eyes felt stiff and uncomfortable, so I went to the ophthalmologist, received a check-up, and followed the prescribed medication. I felt like it was getting a bit better, but then my vision became blurry and uncomfortable again, so yesterday I went back to the clinic to explain the situation, and they prescribed some oral medication as well. I hope to continue taking the oral medication and using the eye drops for a few more days and pray for recovery.

    My mom had cataract surgery at the Public Health Center, and her eyes kept watering. They said the surgery went well, but she's still not improving. She also visited Kim Eye Clinic, but nothing changed there either. A friend recommended Sheran Eye Clinic, and she saw results there. Her eyes don't water anymore. I went because my vision wasn't great, and I have a really bad case of presbyopia. They checked my eyes and found nothing wrong, so I just came back home. They explain everything kindly, and it can get really busy and noisy with so many people. It's quite far from my house, but it's worth the trip. This place was set up by doctors who used to work at Severance Hospital. They also offer discounts if you have records from past visits by family members.

    I thought my eyesight was just getting worse because of old age, so I ignored it for a while. But after being urged by those around me to get a check-up, I found out I had developed cataracts and needed surgery. I was a bit scared at the thought of surgery, but the doctor was very kind and explained everything in detail. It was said to be a simple and quick procedure, so after a brief check-up and preparation, I had the surgery. To my surprise, it wasn’t as difficult as I expected, and at first, I didn’t notice much, but as time passed, the world became brighter. I'm so glad I did it. The doctor was very comfortable to interact with, and the nurses were incredibly friendly too. The facility was neat and nice.

    The hospital facilities look clean and sophisticated. Since many people come here through recommendations, it catches my attention even more. I also have signs of aging, so I plan to visit for reference if needed.

    I was looking into cataract and presbyopia surgery for my parents when an acquaintance recommended this Bright Eyes Eye Clinic, so we decided to visit. They were admitted and discharged on the same day as the surgery. The food was tasty and seemed to be served well~ The nurse who provided the consultation was also very kind. For the first three days after surgery, they wore the best lenses, but apparently their vision was even cloudier. I was glad they explained that part beforehand as well. They already knew about it, but they still had a bit of a hard time—nothing could really be done about thatㅠㅠ I’d recommend asking the doctor rather than the consultation nurse if you want more accurate information. After about a month, they said they could see properly, as well as they had hoped. Their vision had come in, I guess haha. The hospital room was clean, and my parents are satisfied with the results of the surgery.^^

    As I'm getting older, tears flow for no reason. After an examination, it turns out I'm experiencing presbyopia and have oil buildup on my eyelids. After the treatment, I feel a bit relieved. The doctor advised me to diligently apply the prescribed medicine.

    It's been about 4 years since I was diagnosed with glaucoma, and this is my third hospital. The first hospital I went to was one I had been visiting since I was a kid, so I was familiar with it and felt comfortable there. However, the equipment felt a bit outdated, and during the glaucoma tests, I wanted to get every light test right, but it felt blurry, so I decided to switch hospitals. The second place I tried was said to be friendly, and I went there for about a year, but the medical expenses seemed much higher compared to other hospitals. So, I went to the third one, which was where my parents had their cataract surgery, and I was recommended to switch because the doctor is said to be kind. Since it hasn't been open for long, the equipment felt new and clear, which was great. Also, there were no excessive treatments or charges, so I'm very satisfied, and the doctor always takes the time to check everything in detail and answers all my questions.

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.
