    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...

    The procedure I received was an eye pressure test and vision test~~ The doctor in charge was the one in room 1, and I went to the hospital because my eyes were feeling tight and uncomfortable. The hospital is located in Beomgye, Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, and it's quite large, consisting of 3, 4, and 5 floors. They prescribed me some eye drops and anti-inflammatory medication, and advised me to be careful of UV light to protect my eyes~~~~~~~ They conducted a light exposure test and administered eye drops. Make sure to bring your ID when you go to the hospital~~~~~~

    UnverifiedGangnam Central Eye Clinic

    I visited Gangnam Central Eye Clinic to take care of my eye health and received a comprehensive examination, starting with a vision test and including dry eye and retinal exams. As soon as I entered the clinic, I felt at ease because of the clean and comfortable environment, and I was reassured by the well-equipped, state-of-the-art examination equipment. Not only was my vision tested, but my dry eye symptoms, which had often felt uncomfortable, and the more thorough retinal exam were also carried out systematically and efficiently, which I was very satisfied with. In particular, I was seen by a male doctor, who carefully and kindly explained my current eye condition in terms I could easily understand based on the examination results. He also gave me detailed guidance on everyday ways to relieve dry eye symptoms and on the direction of treatment, so all of my questions were answered. Since regular checkups are essential because once your eyesight gets worse, it can be difficult to recover, I plan to continue entrusting my eye health to this clinic thanks to the doctor’s kind and thorough care without unnecessary treatment. I highly recommend Gangnam Central Eye Clinic to anyone near Gangnam who needs treatment for dry eye or a comprehensive eye examination!

    I was in a rush due to my extremely dry eyes and searched for a clinic to go to. I saw Dr. Jeong Yeon-hee for my consultation. Since it was my first time at this clinic, they said I needed to do a simple eye examination, which resulted in some unexpected charges. I had an intraocular pressure test and a vision test. If I had known this would happen, I would have just gone to my usual clinic.. The nurses and the doctor... they were neither unfriendly nor particularly friendly... just average. They asked if I had any artificial tears I used and prescribed me the headache treatment with my usual artificial tears.

    Had lens surgery in March 2024! All the staff, including the doctor, head nurse, and optometrists, were very kind, and the doctor explained everything in a meticulous and detailed manner :) The doctor seemed quite proud of the surgery! It’s a specialized clinic for lenses, which made me trust my decision to go there! It’s located right in front of the subway station, and the facilities are very clean! I'm really grateful to have my vision back to 1.2-1.3 as a severe myopic person 🙇🏻‍♀️💓 Can't wait for my check-up.. 🥹🥹

    UnverifiedLee Jong-Heun Eye Clinic

    I visited an eye clinic because my eyes kept feeling dry in the afternoons, and I repeatedly felt like it took longer for my vision to focus after looking at a screen for a long time. Once I entered the examination room, I explained when the discomfort became worse and also talked about how much time I usually spend using a computer and my phone. First, I had my vision tested, checking each eye in turn. After that, the doctor examined my eyes directly and explained how dry they were and what might be causing the discomfort. The doctor told me that blinking can decrease when looking at a screen for a long time, and also showed me how to take breaks by looking into the distance from time to time. I had always assumed it was simply because I was tired, but after actually getting my eyes examined, I realized that developing good eye-care habits is important too.

    I received an eye injection. It's Dr. Lee Jeong-ho, and I have been going to the hospital for almost 10 years to treat a burst blood vessel in my eye. I have had laser treatment and vitrectomy performed by Dr. Lee Jeong-ho. He is very meticulous and with his precise treatments, I have managed to maintain my vision without going blind and continue to visit the hospital regularly. I am always grateful and feel fortunate. The waiting room is always crowded with patients seeking treatment.

    First of all, this is the ophthalmology clinic that my whole family uses. The eye doctor may seem a bit unfriendly, but I think he’s really skilled. The nurses are very kind, and my older son uses Dream lenses here. He wears them at night, and in the morning, his vision is 1.5, so he’s very comfortable. If we visit right after the morning or lunch hours, the waiting time is usually not long. I also really like that the place is very spacious and pleasant. I just wish the doctor would be a little more friendly with the kids.

    I visited the hospital today and had a comprehensive set of tests, including blood work, a urine test, and an eye exam. After having my blood drawn in the phlebotomy room and completing the urine test, I went to the Eye Clinic, where they checked my vision, eye pressure, and overall eye health in detail. The medical staff explained each step kindly, which helped me feel at ease throughout the process. I was a little nervous during some of the more detailed tests, but everything was handled quickly and efficiently overall. I hope the results, which should be available soon, come back normal and show that I’m healthy. Thank you so much for being so kind and for the helpful explanations.

    While preparing for job interviews, I decided to get vision correction surgery to be ready ahead of time. When I went for the consultation, they asked if I had any interview dates scheduled since I was in job hunting, and helped me figure out the recovery period and how to schedule everything. I was able to choose a surgery date that considered my interview schedule. The very next day after the surgery, I could go back to my normal life, so it didn't interfere with my interview preparation at all. Sitting in the interview without glasses gave me a feeling of extra confidence, haha. There's a psychological aspect to it, but I'm satisfied.

    I lived with the discomfort of glasses and contact lenses for over 20 years. I decided to have vision correction surgery because I wanted to escape from the fogging during winter and the hassle during sports. The reason I chose this place among numerous eye clinics was the high satisfaction of friends and the thorough system for managing side effects. On the day of the examination, more than 50 detailed tests were conducted. I was impressed by the systematic process that allowed no room for error, measuring not only my vision but also corneal thickness and retinal condition. The optometrists kindly responded to us without showing any signs of fatigue during the long tests, explaining in detail what each number meant as the results came out. The doctor recommended 'Smile LASIK' as the most suitable surgical method for my eye condition, clearly explaining the reasons and expected vision outcomes. The surgery room was kept as clean as a semiconductor factory. I felt greatly relieved when the doctor checked my chart again for a final review before the surgery. The procedure was completed in just about 10 minutes. Following the doctor's calm voice saying, "Just look at the green dot," I realized the surgery was over before I knew it, and after a short rest in the recovery room, I could go home right away. The amazing part came the day after the surgery. Waking up and seeing the patterns on the ceiling clearly and being able to distinguish each leaf outside was truly miraculous. Thanks to the thorough post-operative care here, I hardly experienced the dry eyes or light sensitivity symptoms that are commonly reported after surgery. Every time I go for my regular check-up, the doctor personally checks the recovery of my cornea and carefully explains everything from how to use artificial tears to tips on UV protection. Now, instead of reaching for my glasses first thing in the morning, I start my day by appreciating the view outside. I even regret not having done this sooner, as my quality of life has changed 180 degrees. I am deeply grateful to the medical staff who value their patients' eyes. If you are considering vision correction, don't hesitate any longer.

    I had a LASIK surgery after getting a precise examination at Kim Eye Hospital through a friend's recommendation. It's a well-established hospital that many patients have chosen for a long time, which gave me a lot of confidence in my decision to go ahead with the surgery. The examination was very thorough, and the medical staff explained my eye condition, the surgery process, and the recovery period in detail, so I felt reassured about having the surgery. After the surgery, I felt a stinging and chilly sensation for about 4 days, but since I had been informed about the recovery process in advance, I wasn't overly worried. I made sure to use the prescribed eye drops consistently and wore sunglasses when going outside to block UV rays as much as possible. As time went on, the discomfort gradually decreased, and I could feel my vision becoming clearer. The hospital staff was also very friendly, and everything from the appointment to the examination, surgery, and aftercare was organized and satisfying. This hospital, with its long experience and know-how, is one I would confidently recommend to anyone considering vision correction surgery.

    My wife had bilateral cataract surgery performed by Dr. Lee Ho-cheon at Rizian Eye Clinic, and we are extremely satisfied that she regained clear vision (corrected vision of 1.0 and 0.9) without any side effects. I also developed acute cataracts after undergoing vitrectomy surgery at the ophthalmology department of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. After having cataract surgery on my left eye by Dr. Lee Ho-cheon, I regained very clear vision and am now enjoying my daily life comfortably. After having my own surgery first, I explained to my wife that cataract surgery is something people naturally undergo as they get older, that it is no longer as difficult as it used to be, and that it is a simple procedure lasting around 20 to 30 minutes after a thorough examination. I also told her that Dr. Lee Ho-cheon has performed a great many surgeries. As a result, my wife, who had been putting off the surgery, was able to undergo it without difficulty. For those who are considering cataract surgery after receiving an examination and diagnosis, I believe it would be very helpful to discuss the timing with the doctor and consult the head of the counseling department about the other detailed procedures. ... The feeling of seeing a clear world after surgery is truly the best ...

    I was really tired of looking for my lenses every morning, so I finally got SMILE LASIK..!! They did thorough checks on my corneal thickness and vision, and I appreciated the consultation where they used an AI program to analyze which surgery was right for me. At first, I had a slight feeling like something was in my eye, but that went away after a day or two. Now it's been about a month, and if I had known how comfortable this would be, I would have done it soonerㅠㅋㅋㅋ If anyone is considering SMILE LASIK, I highly recommend it!

    This is the eye clinic I went to for vision correction surgery after finally making up my mind because it was such a hassle constantly putting my glasses on and taking them off, and my eyes kept getting dry whenever I wore contacts. Since it involved surgery on my precious eyes, I carefully chose a nearby clinic that was known for thorough examinations and had good equipment. They carried out dozens of extremely detailed tests, checking everything from my corneal thickness to my eye pressure and vision. Based on the test results, they kindly explained that LASIK was possible for my eyes, and they went over the procedure and precautions so carefully that I felt much less anxious. On the day of the surgery, I just lay under the laser equipment and kept my focus where they told me to, and it was over in an instant—I was almost too stunned to process it. For a few hours right after the surgery, my eyes were a little sensitive to light and teary, but when I woke up the next day, the world looked so clear and transparent that it felt amazing. Now I can go about my daily life without glasses, and I can really feel how much my quality of life has improved. At every follow-up examination, they also took such attentive care of me afterward that I truly felt I had made the right decision getting the surgery there.

    Recently, I felt like my vision suddenly declined and I had a foreign body sensation in my eyes, so I went for a thorough examination. I thought the eye clinic would take a long time because of the variety of tests, but the skilled optometrists worked in perfect harmony, so it went much faster than I expected. They are equipped with the latest technology, which really enhances their ability to analyze data accurately. The doctor analyzed the state of my eyes very objectively and coolly based on the test results, but at the same time, he kindly reassured me about the anxiety that patients can feel. He diagnosed me with severe dry eye syndrome and specifically taught me what to be careful about when looking at a monitor and how to do eye compresses. Regarding vision correction surgery, I felt a deep trust as he honestly discussed the pros and cons, considering the condition of my cornea and my lifestyle, rather than pushing me into it unconditionally. The hospital interior was spacious and comfortable, making my stay pleasant, and the staff's service mindset was excellent. I'm so glad to have found a place I can trust with my precious eye health.

6 frequently asked questions

  • Should I undergo LASIK or LASEK, and how much will it cost?

    Hello. We apologize for the delay in our response. First, LASIK and LASEK are different surgical methods. LASIK is a procedure suitable for patients with a thick cornea and has a faster recovery, whereas LASEK can generally be performed for most patients. A decision should be made based on the results of your examination. The cost for LASEK is 690,000 KRW, and for LASIK, it is 1,290,000 KRW. Thank you.

  • 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.
