    My parents had cataract surgery. I don't remember the doctor's name exactly, but both of them received treatment and surgery from the same doctor. Their recovery went well, and now they are in really good condition. The hospital system is well-organized, so the tests went smoothly. They were able to wait comfortably in the hospital room before the surgery, and after the surgery, they could rest comfortably before leaving, which I appreciated. There were quite a few patients, so the wait time for treatment was a bit long, but the appointment system is well managed, and they carried out the tests quickly before the appointment time, so everything went smoothly. I think I will keep coming for check-ups, and I also need to have one eye operated on, but I feel I can trust them.

    There is one doctor here, and it's a private clinic. I visit regularly for allergic conjunctivitis, but I also come here for other eye-related issues since it's close to my home. My father had cataract surgery here, and he’s doing well without any problems. The medical center has a clinic for traditional medicine, an ophthalmology department, internal medicine, etc., so the accessibility is great and there's a pharmacy nearby, which is also nice. It's at the entrance of Gyeongwon Market, so that’s a plus. I recommend trying to avoid peak hours as it can get crowded. The doctor is clear in his examinations, and the treatment rooms and procedure rooms are well-equipped. The nursing staff is friendly too. I recommend this place for those who are considering any procedures. On market days, I suggest walking here.

    I had to get retinal surgery in an emergency. I didn't even have time to look for other hospitals; it was such a serious situation that I wondered if it was okay to have such a major surgery at a local clinic. But the head doctor really knew what he was doing. There's not a lot of specialized retinal hospitals in Sejong, and I've heard that people come here for surgery from other places. He explained everything in detail and was always kind whenever I came in for check-ups. It's been over two years since the surgery, and everything is settling well and being managed properly. The clinic is always kept clean, and every time I go, it feels as fresh as if it just opened. This is a place I would recommend to friends who are dealing with retinal issues or cataracts.

    UnverifiedBundang Yonsei Plus Ophthalmology Clinic

    I visited for my regular check-up, which I have every year after my cataract surgery. They check my vision and do various tests when I check in. Usually, I don't go to the eye doctor unless something hurts, but getting these regular check-ups lets me keep track of my eye health, and I think it’s really good. I had my appointment with Dr. Lee Jae-bum, who performed my surgery. It seems like there are always a lot of patients, so I tend to get in a bit late for my appointment. Fortunately, the check-up results were good, so I scheduled my next appointment for a year later and left. I always feel that the doctor is very kind. This hospital near Migeum Station in Bundang is a place I can trust for treatment. Just a heads up, because there are a lot of patients, it's essential to make an appointment in advance! I often recommend Yonsei Plus Eye Clinic to people around me.

    Our local specialty eye clinic is always crowded with patients suffering from eye conditions, so even if I arrive just a little late, I have to wait a long time to be seen, which can be somewhat inconvenient. Still, I have no choice but to be patient and go to Gounnun Eye Clinic in our neighborhood. I’m always grateful to the doctor for examining me with friendly care and professional equipment, explaining everything kindly, and providing such good treatment. I’m also always thankful to the nurses for conducting the tests so kindly and carefully, which allows me to receive care comfortably. I wish I didn’t have any problems, but since I have presbyopia along with cataract symptoms, I can’t help but visit often. It’s a little sad, but I’m always satisfied with the friendly and professional care I receive whenever I visit.

    UnverifiedBeomeo Eye Clinic

    Since my high myopia is quite severe, regular check-ups at the eye clinic are a must for me. That's why I went for my regular check-up at Beomeo Eye Clinic, which is conveniently located near my home. I've also visited multiple times for eye-related issues due to allergic conjunctivitis and dry eyes. Because of my high myopia, detailed examinations are essential, so I keep getting checked regularly. This place also does a lot of cataract surgeries, so there are many elderly patients. There's only one ophthalmologist, so if you go without an appointment, you might have to wait a while, so I definitely recommend making an appointment beforehand. The doctor has a lot of experience, so I trust their skills, and the medical staff are all very kind, making for a great visit.

    I regularly visit here due to allergic conjunctivitis to get my prescriptions. This medical center is convenient for parking, and everyone is very kind. The hospital is clean, and they have both the laser treatment room and a surgery room for cataract surgeries. I was going here because it's close to my house, and I have been satisfied with the care I've received, so I plan to continue. I definitely recommend it to others. It's always busy here, but it's even more crowded on certain days, so if you can, I suggest avoiding those days. Other than that, I have had no issues with using the services. My parents also visit here whenever they have any discomfort.

    I have allergic conjunctivitis, so I go about twice a year. My father had his surgery here, and I heard this clinic has the most experience with cataract surgery. Since it’s located in a medical center, parking is convenient and the facilities are clean and easy to use. All the staff are very kind, and they do a thorough job with the examinations. Because it’s in a medical center, you can also visit Internal Medicine, a Korean Medicine Clinic, or Dermatology there. Being close by was the main reason I went, but I’m glad I found such a good clinic and plan to keep coming here. There are always a lot of patients whenever I visit, so the wait can be long, but I think that’s a good sign that many people seek this clinic out. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

    My vision has been getting noticeably blurry lately, so I came in and was diagnosed with Presbyopia, lol. Personally, I’m the type who doesn’t usually go to the hospital even when I’m in pain. Especially with the Eye Clinic, it’s not really a department I visit unless my eyes are seriously painful or uncomfortable, so when I went to the Eye Clinic for the first time in almost ten years, it was a whole new world. After checking in and waiting briefly, they started running tests right away. I was amazed by how many different machines they had, and by how I was moved from one to another for all kinds of tests. It was fascinating, and I also felt reassured knowing they were giving me such a thorough examination. After all the tests were finished, I was diagnosed with Presbyopia and given eye drops. They told me to come back for a checkup in a year, but... I guess I should visit again soon.

    UnverifiedSeoul On Eye Clinic

    My eye was very painful and bloodshot, and I was considering going to Hongik Eye Clinic in my old neighborhood, but then I heard from a church elder that she had cataract surgery here, so I decided to check out On Eye Clinic near Bulgwang Station. When I walked in, I was surprised to see so many people at an eye clinic; it was my first time. There were a lot of doctors and staff as well. The doctor who took care of me was very kind and examined me thoroughly. They said I had a scratch on my eye. There weren't any closer eye clinics to my house, so I had to walk quite a bit, which was a bit tiring. I thought about going to another hospital because it was so crowded, but I decided to stick it out. I made an appointment and got my prescription filled before heading back home.

    These days, my vision's been deteriorating and I've been experiencing presbyopia, which has made daily life quite uncomfortable, so I decided to visit a hospital. I've been a regular visitor here (well, once every one or two years ^^), and it’s always crowded with patients, making it a popular choice. This time, after making an appointment, I had to wait two and a half hours before I could see a doctor. But the consultation was worth the wait. I really appreciated the detailed and friendly explanations from the doctor about my vision and presbyopia. The ophthalmologist also took the time to thoroughly explain everything regarding my vision issues, which I found very reassuring. Fortunately, my lens is clean and there's nothing to worry about. There may always be a long wait, but I plan to have my next appointment at Seoul Eye Clinic as well.

    UnverifiedSeoul Shinsagae Eye Clinic

    I've been experiencing presbyopia, which makes my eyes dry and my vision blurry, so I find myself visiting the ophthalmologist quite often. The staff is always friendly, and they conduct the basic exams quickly, which saves me a lot of waiting time. Even when there are many patients, I can wait without feeling crowded, and the doctor explains everything in detail. If I need a prescription, they also provide clear instructions for taking the medication. After my appointments, I always feel an improvement right away. For conditions like conjunctivitis or dry eye syndrome, it seems like I recover within a week or two. Since I have presbyopia, I do visit the eye clinic frequently, but they always greet me warmly and check on my condition thoroughly, making me feel good during my visits.

    I came in because of photopsia, but they said it was presbyopia symptoms. They said there’s no treatment, and that it might get better over time—or I should just adapt and live with it. I was seen by the doctor in Department 3. My vision had also gotten worse, so I was prescribed glasses and reading glasses. The staff examined me very thoroughly, and the doctor was kind and explained everything well.

    There wasn't much of a wait, and my eyes were itchy and uncomfortable, so I went in, but they just said it was due to old eyes. I expressed that it was too uncomfortable for that to be the case, and they asked if I wanted a prescription for allergy medication. I was a bit taken aback by that. They were friendly, but it felt like they were treating the consultation very superficially.

    Recently, I noticed that my eyes easily became fatigued when reading small print, so I went for a check-up. The tests revealed that I have early presbyopia and dry eye syndrome. I learned eye exercises and how to use artificial tears, and I've applied that to my daily life. After about two weeks, the dryness in my eyes has significantly decreased. The examination and explanations were very systematic, which made me trust the process.

    My child's eyesight has worsened rapidly, so we've been prescribed eye drops to slow down the progression of myopia. We're continuing with the drops and really hope they work. The staff is very attentive and explains everything well. During the week, appointments are available, but since I can only go on weekends, I've been able to get seen without an appointment as long as I arrive at opening time. There’s also parking, so I don't have to worry about that. This eye hospital has been around for a long time in Daejeon, so I trust it, and it seems like the consultations and exams are very systematic. Both my older and younger children have their eye exams done here. My parents also had cataract surgery here, so it’s a family eye hospital that we all trust.

    I took an elderly person to the center. It's a very reputable hospital, so there's quite a lot of patients. Still, there's testing before the consultation, so it's bearable to wait. Every time I go, they conduct thorough tests. The elderly patients just need to sit there and don't have any trouble with the face exams. The best thing is the doctor. He is always kind and answers all the questions the elderly have. He remembers the previous conditions well and explains what has improved or worsened clearly. The nurses are also numerous, so everything feels like it's progressing smoothly without delays. They also perform cataract surgeries, so be sure to check your schedule because there's no consultation on Thursday afternoons.

    Maybe we picked the wrong day. When my mother went on Monday afternoon, she had to wait two and a half hours before being seen. There were so many patients waiting. Since it was Monday and the hospital was going on vacation starting Wednesday, that may have been why, but even on other days, you usually have to wait an hour before you can see the doctor. The director spoke in a soft voice, pointed at the monitor, and calmly explained everything very well. My mother has a cataract, but it isn't affecting her daily life yet, so he prescribed Santen Kary Uni eye drops to slow its progression and told us to shake them well and put them in three times a day. I like Samsung Eye Clinic because they don't do unnecessary or excessive treatment. The nurses are kind, too. Kindness from people anywhere makes you feel good~~

    I received treatment for a stye and dry eye syndrome, and was prescribed disinfectant eye drops and preservative-free hyaluronic acid eye drops 0.1% (single-use). I visited around 3:30 PM, but there were too many patients, about 30 on the waiting list. I ended up leaving without being seen. When I returned two hours later at 5:30 PM, there were still about 10 patients waiting, mostly elderly patients in their 60s to 80s. The waiting time increases significantly when cataract surgeries are performed, so it seems best to avoid visiting on Wednesdays. There were two nurses, but it seemed insufficient. The examination took about 5 minutes, and the doctor seemed experienced.

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.
