    UnverifiedJo Yong-o Eye Clinic

    One day, my vision started to get blurry, and I kept telling myself I needed to see a doctor but kept putting it off. Eventually, I went to a quiet eye clinic near my office for a check-up. Despite still being relatively young, I found out that I was in the early stages of cataracts. However, the doctor said I could opt for medication instead of surgery. If I chose surgery now, I might have to go through it again later if the cataracts returned, which could be more complicated and risky for my vision. The doctor recommended delaying surgery as much as possible and using medication to slow the progression of the cataracts. So, I trusted the doctor and started the medication, and it seems like my vision is getting clearer. I will continue with the treatment to delay surgery as much as I can.

    UnverifiedMy Clinic

    A few days ago, my eyes started itching and getting red, so I just rinsed them with tap water and put up with it, but I ended up catching an eye infection. I visited Myung-an Eye Clinic at the entrance of Isu Station. They told me it's eyelid conjunctivitis and that I should come back in a few days. I received a prescription for Torasin eye drops and antibiotics, and since I mentioned my eyes often feel dry and uncomfortable, I also got prescribed artificial tears. The ophthalmologist is a bit older, but he is calm and thorough with the treatment and explains everything well. I had a visit a long time ago for an eye exam and received a prescription to get glasses from the optical store. The entrance of the hospital feels a bit old, but the inside is neat and simple. The nurses and other staff are friendly, and there's no unnecessary treatment.

    I visited the hospital for my annual employee health check-up. The facility felt a bit old, showing signs of time, but the nurses and doctors were very kind and attentive, which was great. When they took blood, they were careful and managed to do it on the first try without having to poke me multiple times trying to find a vein. They checked my blood pressure, did a vision test, and took X-rays. I appreciated that they explained each step clearly to avoid any confusion. They also informed me that I could get a free gastric endoscopy, so I've decided to come back to this hospital in the future. After the check-up, I was told that I would receive my results in a week.

    UnverifiedSamsung Smile Eye Clinic

    I visited at the recommendation of a friend. I made an appointment after being told that I could have the surgery on the same day as the exam. I looked into other places, but not many offer surgery on the same day after the exam. The waiting time for the exam was under an hour, which was great, and I was able to have the surgery almost right away. Since I'm working, it was nice to have the surgery on the same day. I received the Smile LASIK procedure from Dr. Hong Seong-ho, and he explained everything step by step, almost like comforting a baby, which helped me endure the pain. I only felt pain for about 2 hours that day, and afterward, my vision improved to 1.2! I'm really satisfied that I could go back to my daily life the next day. I'm planning to recommend this to my friend too!

    UnverifiedNew World Eye Clinic

    I've been feeling like my eyes are dry and irritated all the time, like there’s something in them. It makes me so uncomfortable and itchy that I can't help but rub them. My eyesight is really poor, and I can’t read things that are far away, which is frustrating. I was scared and anxious about coming to an eye clinic because I thought I might need surgery. Wearing glasses makes me dizzy, so I take them off quickly, and contact lenses make my eyes red and tear up, so I can’t wear those either. But after being referred to this New World Eye Clinic, I found that all the nurses are very kind, and they conducted several tests. The doctor is friendly too. The hospital is clean. After the tests, I was told that I have really bad nearsightedness and astigmatism. Today, I had a simple exam and got a prescription. Thank you!

    UnverifiedYonsei Won Clinic

    Until I reached my 50s, I hardly even took cold medicine. Since I had lived without taking medication, I never imagined that I would end up taking medicine every day. Maybe you really can’t hide your age. After 30 years, I finally made up my mind and quit smoking, but although I don’t have any symptoms of diabetes yet, my blood pressure was slightly above the normal range, so I started taking blood pressure medication. I originally got my prescriptions from another hospital, but it moved, and I considered going to a large hospital instead. However, since I don’t have diabetes yet and my vision is still above 1.0, I looked for a nearby local clinic where I could get regular prescriptions for just my blood pressure medication. I’ve been coming here for seven years now, and it’s convenient and seems pretty good since it’s close to home.

    UnverifiedCheollyun Eye Clinic

    As I’ve gotten older, I feel like my eyes are aging too. I started seeing floaters, and my vision seemed to be gradually getting worse, so I decided to come in. The clinic has a clean, well-designed interior and several eye examination machines, which I liked. The doctor explained everything clearly during the consultation and was very thorough. I also asked some questions about my usual eye care, and the doctor answered them sincerely and in detail, so I was very satisfied. I’m glad I chose to come here for my treatment. The nurse was extremely kind, and the staff member who performed my eye exam was both quick and friendly. As with any hospital, there was a bit of a wait, but it was reasonable and worth it. This is a clinic I’d like to recommend to my friends as well.

    UnverifiedBright Kim Eye Clinic

    I visited Kim Eye Clinic in Pungdong. There’s one doctor and one optometrist, so the wait can be a little long, but they’re very thorough and kind, so I like it. There are so many people of all ages and genders. I guess everyone comes here because it’s the only eye clinic in Pungdongㅠㅠ I especially like the optometrist so, so, so much. I think they also work at Saebit Eye Clinic and have a great deal of experience. My child likes them too and says they’re very kind. It’s upsetting that my child’s eyesight keeps getting worse every time we come in, but they give us good advice and counseling, so my child is also trying to follow their recommendations carefully! The front-desk staff are kind too, and overall, I’m very satisfied!! We’re also planning to get orthokeratology lenses. I’ll leave another review later:

    UnverifiedSeoul Eye Clinic

    Hello! It's been about 2 or 3 months since I visited Seoul Eye Clinic. I had severe allergies and experienced a lot of eye bleeding. Every clinic I went to recommended the same drops and gave me the same advice. So, I thought this would be my last try and went there, and they gave me completely different eye drops. I've been using them since, and they are really effective. During my visit, they also checked my vision and were super friendly. I left feeling really good. These eye drops are genuinely great; everyone should give them a try. It's a clinic I can really recommend. The doctor and all the staff were very kind, so I'm thinking of going back.

    Because my dry eye symptoms are severe, I have to visit an eye clinic regularly. Since it’s in Naseong-dong and close to home, I come here. There are three doctors on staff, so I can be seen right away without waiting long, which saves me time. I had an eye exam, vision test, and eye pressure test, then met with the doctor and received an explanation of my eye condition, including why my eyes become dry. Eye dryness can be caused by many different things, but I was told that aging may also be a factor. The doctor explained everything kindly, and I was prescribed artificial tears for my dry eyes. I bought them at the pharmacy right below the hospital.

    UnverifiedSeoul Samsung Ophthalmology Clinic

    I had LASIK surgery! Before the surgery, I underwent a variety of thorough tests, and through consultations and examinations, I went through the process of deciding on the vision correction procedure that was right for me. They explained all the precautions and the details of how the surgery would be carried out, so I was able to mentally prepare myself haha. On the day of the surgery, I first had some tests and an examination, then moved to the operating room. By following the instructions from the doctor and nurses, it was over before I knew it! Now all that’s left is to heal well haha. I’ll make sure to take good care of my eyes as instructed 🫡 Unlike what I had worried about, it didn’t hurt, and thanks to everyone who took such thorough care of me, I’m very satisfied. I really need to tell everyone around me about this ㅜㅜ

    UnverifiedBulkwang Seoul Eye Clinic

    I visited an eye clinic in a nearby large building because my eyes were dry, and the doctor was also very kind. My meibomian glands were blocked to the point of inflammation, and he explained everything in detail. He suggested that regular laser expression treatments would be better than just using eye drops. Before the examination, I had my vision tested and after the check-up, I also did warm eye compresses under light. At home, squeezing them can lead to infection, so I thought it would be better to have it done by the kind medical staff, so I'm planning to return for the meibomian gland expression. After that, I received prescriptions for artificial tears and anti-inflammatory eye drops, and I'm using them well haha. Once again, I want to thank the director for explaining everything so kindly.

    UnverifiedBundang Eye Clinic

    Bundang Eye Hospital seems to be friendly and, above all, does not engage in excessive treatment. Both the doctor and nurses are kind and always greet you warmly. I had a chalazion procedure here, and it was completely painless, and I was surprised by how comforting the nurse was. Perhaps that's why the atmosphere in the clinic is always bustling with many patients, which can take some time. Still, I believe the reason I stick with this hospital is because of the state-of-the-art equipment and the friendly doctors. It’s a place that is accessible for everyone, from the elderly to children, and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with vision issues. You won't regret it.

    UnverifiedSiloam Ophthalmology Clinic

    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!

    Unverified365 Convenient Internal Medicine Clinic

    I regularly visit the clinic to get prescriptions for my high blood pressure and cholesterol medications. Every six months, I also have blood tests done, including tests for hemoglobin A1C, to keep my health in check. The doctor is young but speaks well, is very kind, and thoroughly checks to ensure there's nothing else wrong. I always feel comfortable during my visits. The nursing staff is also very friendly and helpful. Sometimes, when I'm feeling a bit under the weather, I come in for IV therapy, and I can really feel the difference afterward. It's great that this clinic offers health check-ups, so I don't have to go to a large hospital for procedures like endoscopies, colon cancer screenings, blood tests, vision tests, and basic measurements like height and weight.

    UnverifiedLee Sang-cheol Pediatric and Adolescent Clinic

    I took my 5-year-old for a health check-up. It was great that I didn't have to fill out the form separately since I completed it on the National Health Insurance Service app beforehand. The doctor checked his height, weight, head circumference, and vision, and the consultation was based on the form I filled out. I was happy to hear that my child is doing well in his current developmental stage. He seems to be a bit slow in developing his gross motor skills, so I think he needs to practice things like riding a bike and climbing stairs more. The staff are always friendly and provide vitamins when we visit. My son enjoys going to the clinic, which is nice. We need to come back next month for vaccinations. The doctor has a lot of experience and treats the kids kindly, which I really appreciate.

    Dr. Yoo Kyung-hwa is the best! This is an eye clinic that has built a great reputation in the neighborhood through many years of experience and skill. Everyone is kind, and I’m very happy with the nurses too. Lately, my eyes have been especially tired, stinging, and dry, so the doctor prescribed three bottles of artificial tears. I was told I could use them whenever my eyes felt dry. The doctor said seasonal factors could be affecting my eyes, and that they can become more stinging and dry when I’m particularly tired. I was prescribed medication and treatment, along with the cataract supplement Gariyuni and plenty of artificial tears. I also had my vision tested, and I think I need to give my eyes more rest while living in a way that reduces eye strain. I highly recommend Yoo Eye Clinic. I’d like to praise this skilled doctor for always putting patients first.

    It was great that they did a basic vision test and provided quick care. I visited thinking about surgery for my child's stye, but they reassured me that there was no need to worry. They explained everything kindly, and after hearing that we could manage with just a prescription, I left with only the medication. I had previously visited for my own stye, and they treated me quickly then too. This time, they even gave me a note on how to apply warm compresses to help the stye heal well. After taking the medication and using the eye drops at home, we are seeing a lot of improvement. The nurses were all very friendly, and the hospital is spacious, so I was able to receive care comfortably without feeling cramped, even with many people around.

    UnverifiedYangjeong Best Eye Clinic

    I visited because my old glasses had different prescriptions and weren't comfortable. I figured it was a good time to get an eye exam as well. They compared my three pairs of glasses with different prescriptions and did the vision test very thoroughly, helping me understand which glasses were the best fit for my current eye condition. They also distinguished between which glasses were good for seeing things up close and far away, which I really appreciated. I was unsure if I needed to get new glasses, but they reassured me that I could keep using my current ones, which was a relief. I had many questions, but both the nurses and the doctor were very kind and took their time answering them, so I felt well taken care of during my visit.

    I often feel like my eyes get easily tired and my vision becomes blurry, so I visited for an examination. After registering, I went through a basic vision test and an eye pressure check in order, and the process was organized, which helped avoid any confusion. The results were shown to me on a screen, making it easy to understand the current condition of my eyes. They particularly mentioned that using smartphones for long periods can affect my eyes and provided advice on eye care and resting habits. Instead of recommending unnecessary procedures, they guided me to check my condition through regular check-ups, which made me feel less pressured. The space was relatively tidy, and I was able to undergo the examination in a calm and stable atmosphere.

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.
