I had cataract surgery at Yonsei Hanbit Eye Clinic. My vision had been getting progressively worse, making daily life uncomfortable, so after some consideration, I decided to visit the clinic. The staff were very friendly from the consultation, providing detailed explanations that put me at ease. The examination process didn't take long, there was no unnecessary treatment, and they guided me in an easy-to-understand way about my current eye condition and the surgery method. The surgery itself was completed in a shorter time than I expected, and I experienced very little pain, so it wasn't too burdensome. Right after the surgery, I felt a slight foreign sensation, but I recovered quickly over time, and I could immediately feel that my vision had cleared, which was satisfying. Additionally, follow-up checks and aftercare were thorough, which helped me feel even more at ease. I was impressed by the professionalism of the medical staff and their meticulous care, and it was an experience I would recommend to anyone considering cataract surgery.

My father recently told me that his vision had become blurry, so I went with him to an eye clinic. After the examination, we were told that he had early-stage cataracts. I was worried at first, but I felt reassured when they explained in detail that since it was still at an early stage, he could simply have regular checkups and monitor its progress. The examination was conducted calmly, and I appreciated how clearly they explained the condition of his cataracts and what he should be careful about going forward. My father was initially reluctant to visit the hospital, but after his appointment, he said he felt much more at ease. Rather than pushing unnecessary treatment, they guided us on how to manage his condition based on his current situation, which made me trust them. I also felt that he should continue having regular checkups. Overall, I was very satisfied with the kind and thorough care he received.

I underwent more than 10 preoperative tests ahead of cataract surgery on my left eye. As always, the hospital was packed. After receiving a detailed explanation about the surgery from Dr. Hong Jun-gi, I was given instructions on the preparations and precautions by the nurse before leaving. I’m a little worried since the surgery is only a few days away, but the staff have given me so much comfort and encouragement that I feel reassured. I’m trusting that everything will go well.

Since turning sixty-two, I've been experiencing blurry vision, maybe due to age, and it felt like I had something stuck in my eyes. After receiving treatment, my condition has improved significantly. The attentive care and treatment made me trust the process.

This is a hospital I regularly visit for over 10 years since my college days for precision ophthalmology check-ups. The main reason I go there is for the thorough eye exams with eye drops that help check for the early signs of cataracts and glaucoma. They also provide detailed and friendly consultations regarding my family's hereditary conditions, which always puts my mind at ease. Towards the end of my visits, they always help remove styes or oil from my eyelids, which can be extremely painful to the point of tears, but it feels so relieving that I keep going back for it. Of course, they don’t perform needless procedures without consent, so I'm overall very satisfied and would highly recommend this top-notch ophthalmology clinic to friends and local residents.

I often have blurry vision, and it's really uncomfortable while I'm working, so I go there each time. They don't do excessive examinations, and they always reassure me that it's just because I'm getting older, which makes me feel at ease.

One day I saw things floating in front of my eyes. I visited Bright Seoul Eye Clinic and, after many tests, they said it was due to presbyopia and that there was nothing wrong. The doctor was also kind.

Two years ago, I was recommended cataract surgery at a famous eye clinic in Gangnam and successfully completed the procedure. Like any clinic, I need to visit every three months for ongoing treatment. Moreover, since it's said that presbyopia can lead to macular degeneration, I can't avoid going. But with moving and now relocating to Seongnam in Gyeonggi Province, it’s very hard to commute. There are likely many good clinics in Pangyo, but I hesitated to go because I didn't know any. However, thanks to a recommendation from a real estate agent, I began visiting this nearby, good clinic. I've already had three check-ups and received eye drops. The clinic is clean, and I trust the doctor's experience. I sincerely hope for the doctor's unwavering kind responses so that I can continue feeling at ease and entrust my precious eyes to them.

I’ve been having trouble seeing things up close, so I went for an exam. They didn’t just check my eyesight; they also looked at the degree of presbyopia, my eye's ability to focus, and even my lifestyle, which felt very systematic. The examination process wasn’t rushed at all, and they explained everything step by step, making it easy to understand. I appreciated that they didn’t scare me with unnecessary comments and instead focused on my current condition and how to manage it moving forward. Instead of pushing for surgery right away, they talked to me about choosing glasses or contacts and managing my eye health in daily life, which made it feel less overwhelming. I think it's a great place to get checked out, especially if you're in the early stages of presbyopia.

Lately, I’ve noticed that it’s hard to see things up close and that my eyes get tired easily, so I visited St. Mary’s Eye Clinic to get checked for presbyopia. At first, I thought it was simply because my eyes were tired, but I gradually started feeling more discomfort when looking at things up close in my daily life, so I thought it would be best to get a proper examination. At the clinic, I had my vision checked and my eye condition examined, and I also received a consultation about issues related to presbyopia. Based on the examination results, the doctor explained my current eye condition and presbyopia, which made it easy to understand the things I had been curious about. I realized that presbyopia is a natural change that can occur as we age, so rather than worrying too much, I felt that it’s important to have my eyes checked regularly and take care of them. Overall, I was satisfied with the visit because I was able to identify the issues that had been bothering me due to presbyopia and learn about my current eye condition.

I wonder if I have presbyopia because I can't see things up close. While looking for a clinic, a friend recommended this one, and I'm really pleased! The doctor is very kind and the place is nice and clean. The director takes a careful look, and I appreciate that.

I really appreciate the confident care and prescriptions from my eye doctor, which is why I'm coming back today. This morning, my symptoms are that after my cataract surgery, I've been playing tennis for 46 years. Since last Friday morning, I've been seeing double and I can't see the ball clearly up close. Another issue is that when I move my head around, my focus should adjust properly, but it's definitely not clear and I'm feeling dizzy. I wonder if it's just a simple case of aging, but I have an appointment with the doctor this morning.

I suddenly got a stye in my eye, and while it wasn't a serious condition, I quickly made a visit. It was Monday morning, so there were quite a few people waiting, and since it's a place that does a lot of cataract surgeries in addition to regular check-ups, there were patients waiting for surgery as well. I guess since mine wasn't a major issue, there weren't any special measures taken, but they explained everything clearly. It was a pretty smooth experience and I was satisfied. The medication seems to be working well too; it's not getting any bigger! Haha

This has been my ophthalmology clinic in Seokgwan-dong since I was in high school. I've been coming here regularly for treatment of conjunctivitis and dry eyes, and even after several decades, they're still going strong in Seokgwan-dong. I met the doctor when he was younger, and although I haven't seen him in a while since I now go to Seoul National University Hospital for regular check-ups after having cataract surgery, I still vividly remember how handsome and kind he was. ^^

A few months ago, I visited Kim Eye Clinic because my right vision was blurry, and I was able to regain clear vision thanks to their prompt and thorough examination and quick cataract surgery. I truly felt that the reputation of Kim Eye Clinic is well deserved. However, I found it a bit off-putting when they constantly referred to patients with phrases like '<The patient is~~~>'. While I am indeed a patient, it felt a little strange. I think it would be better if they simply used '<Mr./Ms. OOO>'.

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.
