    I came in because of dry eye symptoms and was told that they could get worse due to presbyopia. I was advised to use artificial tears frequently, like applying face lotion, and that it would help. Thank you for the kind consultation.

    I came in because my eyes were dry, and it turns out I'm experiencing presbyopia. The threads that I see drifting in my vision are also a type of presbyopia called floaters. Now that I’m over forty, my eyes are really suffering. When I go out on cold or dry days, I find myself unexpectedly tearing up. The symptoms of presbyopia are so varied, and I really need to manage my condition to prevent it from getting worse. I got prescribed artificial tears and eye ointment for conjunctivitis due to seasonal allergies. I appreciated how the doctor patiently answered all my questions and provided thorough medication guidance. It’s really convenient that they send me reminders about my next appointment so I don’t forget to come back. I’m always grateful to the friendly doctors and nurses. I wish them all the best in their practice.

    A few months after my cataract surgery, I was diagnosed with glaucoma, so I've been going for check-ups once a month while receiving ongoing treatment. I have four eye drops and one oral medication. Since I often visit the supermarket, the dry air there makes my eyes feel dry all the time, so I have to keep track of all these medications to maintain my eye health. It's more challenging than I expected, but I try not to skip any doses. However, every time I go to the hospital and see the wounds in my eyes, it's tough to handle. Still, thanks to the caring doctors, I'm doing my best to ensure my eye health doesn't get worse.

    I just went to get Dream Lenses fitted. The doctor was very kind and the nurses took great care of me. Most importantly, the waiting time was quick, which was nice. I didn't feel any pain at all, just a little scared when putting them in ^^. I think even younger friends could manage it easily. The clinic is very clean and tidy. They even have a water purifier and umbrellas available. I think I will keep going here, so I highly recommend it!!! Besides Dream Lenses, there are many treatments available for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and myopia, so I think people of all ages can come here!!! You can comfortably buy artificial tears at the pharmacy downstairs, and all the testing equipment is brand new, so I was very, very satisfied.

    I randomly came across Seoul Eye Clinic and visited for an exam six months ago. Recently, one of my eyes started to get blurry all of a sudden. After stopping by an optical shop for a check-up, I found out that my vision had dropped significantly. They advised me to go to a hospital for a thorough examination to find the cause. I went to the hospital, underwent a detailed examination, and had cataract surgery. The doctor provided careful treatment and performed the surgery really well. I was also touched by the kindness of the nurses. They explained the follow-up care in detail, and I'm really grateful. This is an eye clinic I would highly recommend.

    As my vision started getting worse and I had trouble focusing, I visited. The hospital is surprisingly clean. The desk staff were also very kind. The doctor examined everything in detail. He mentioned that my prolonged use of my phone in dark spaces had caused significant strain on my eyes. He warned that it could lead to cataracts if it continues and advised me to avoid using my phone in dark places. He also recommended good eye supplements. I highly recommend this place.

    I had my second follow-up after Dr. Lee Sang-hyeop performed surgery for an epiretinal membrane in my right eye. He said everything is progressing well. Looking at the images, it’s not 100% yet, but the results are developing nicely. He told me to come back for another appointment in three months. He is still very kind and caring. I also had cataract surgery, and afterward I had something like a film in my eye from the floaters, which was extremely uncomfortable. He said that had been removed during the surgery as well, and I told him it feels much more comfortable now. Today, they removed the stitches from the surgery. They put in anesthetic drops and removed the stitches quickly. I was worried it would hurt, but it only stung slightly. It was tolerable for an adult. My next appointment is on December 10. The medical bill came to 56,900 won.ㅠㅠ. The photo below was taken while I was waiting for my appointment.

    This is a hospital I visited on the recommendation of an acquaintance. It is conveniently located near Exit 11 of Gangnam Station. I underwent cataract multifocal lens implantation. I am currently receiving follow-up treatment and service for dry eyes after the surgery. Both the doctor and staff are very friendly. The surgery was completed quickly using the latest medical equipment, and I experienced no special pain or discomfort, and the post-operative recovery has been positive. My vision has improved to 1.2, and I am satisfied with the results, as they continue to monitor my condition, so I have been in for treatment for three months now. Fridays tend to have many surgical patients, so it's quieter if you visit from Monday to Thursday. It's a place where national representatives and professional baseball players have received treatment and surgery, so it seems trustworthy. The costs are manageable as the expenses are covered by my insurance.

    I went in for a check-up because my eyes were really dry and uncomfortable, and I had been struggling with severe eye fatigue lately. Siloam Eye Clinic is conveniently located near my work, which was a plus. Since it was my first visit, they conducted a brief interview and basic vision tests including a retinal exam, glaucoma and cataract tests, and an eye pressure test. The optometrist explained the testing process very well and was so kind, which I appreciated. When the results came out, the doctor carefully explained everything to me. They said I have dryness, some astigmatism, and my retina is weak. I received a month’s supply of eye drops and they explained my eye condition in detail. It looks like I'll need to come back regularly for follow-ups and additional tests. Siloam Eye Clinic really provides systematic and thorough care!

    I came here about two months ago. I’m getting older, so I think I’m starting to develop presbyopia, and this time my vision wasn’t very good either, so I came back. Maybe it’s because the doctor and staff treated me so well, but there were a lot of people coming in.

    I suddenly started seeing flashes in front of my eyes, and as I was trying to sleep, they kept blinking every minute. I imagined all sorts of things, thinking I might have cataracts. It wasn't serious enough for surgery, but they prescribed eye drops. I was worried all night about potential complications from diabetes, but thanks to the detailed explanation from the doctor, I felt reassured. Was it just my mind? After using the eye drops, the flashing seemed to lessen a bit, and it feels like the brightness is not as intense. I really appreciated the quick visit and that I didn’t have to wait.

    I had cataract surgery and I've been going to the hospital regularly to recover... Before, I couldn't distinguish colors and my vision was really poor, but after the surgery, everything is clear and I can see colors accurately. I really regret not getting the surgery done sooner... The doctor explained everything well and was very kind, so I'm really satisfied. It's a bit annoying to have to put in eye drops four times a day, but I'm trying my best to do it so I hope to feel better soon... I'm really happy to see the world clearly.

    I was seeing Dr. Jang Jaeyong at the Bright Eye Clinic, but he was on vacation this time, so I had an appointment with Dr. Kim Kyungjin. When I visit the hospital, they do various tests like vision tests, eye pressure checks, and dilation retinal scans. I had severe dry eye syndrome, but this time I felt good because my eyes seemed to have improved and I wasn't uncomfortable anymore. However, suddenly they told me the cataract had worsened, and my heart sank... Now some time has passed and I've calmed down a bit... I was prescribed Gariuni three times a day additionally. They told me to wear sunglasses and a hat. I usually wear a hat all the time, but just two months ago they didn't say anything, and now they say my cataract got worse suddenly, and I just don't know what to do... I'm putting in the eye drops regularly, but... About ten years ago, they mentioned there was a slight cataract in my left eye, but it was fine, and just a few years ago they told me the same thing... Now suddenly both eyes have worsened, and they said I would need surgery later, so I feel upset and frustrated. I visit every six months for regular check-ups, but for almost the last two years, I've been going every two months, and then suddenly they spring this on me... Is this even possible?...

    I had cataract surgery with the doctor in Room 3, and when I went back for a follow-up two months later, the doctor said everything looked good and to come back in six months. I wanted to get glasses, so I had an eye exam. My vision improved a lot after the surgery, and while my glasses are thinner now, I still need them for seeing far away. Nurse Yoo-ri is so nice and kind that I felt like I had to write this to praise her. Nurse Yoo-ri is an angel in white. Doctor, please give her praise! ♡♡♡

    I had multifocal Cataract Surgery. My doctor was Dr. Lee Chang-geon. I originally visited on the recommendation of Dr. Han Tae-won, but he was on a business trip in the U.S., so I ended up changing doctors. I felt reassured having the surgery because I was told my doctor specializes in multifocal lenses. The location of my Cataract made the surgery difficult, but I was so relieved when they told me it had gone well. They recommended the Johnson & Johnson Odyssey, so I trusted them and decided right away. The doctor said that if I had any discomfort with my vision or astigmatism after a year, they would also perform corrective surgery free of charge. That helped me decide because it showed me they provide good aftercare. I had seen on YouTube that you should choose a place with good aftercare. I’m recovering well so far. They opened up a KakaoTalk channel so surgery patients can ask questions, so I don’t have to go through the inconvenience of calling every time. I’m grateful that I can see the world with bright, clear eyes. They said it takes about 3–6 months... I hope my vision comes back well...

    I came in because my eyes were feeling strained from reading for a long time. During the exam, early signs of presbyopia were confirmed. I got new prescription glasses. My vision became clearer after wearing them. I was impressed by the friendly explanations and thorough examination.

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.
