    UnverifiedYonsei Eye Clinic

    I haven’t been able to sleep well for the past few days and was really tired, and when I woke up in the morning, I noticed that the blood vessels in my eyes had burst and turned red. Both of my eyes were red, and I was startled; my eyes felt painful and uncomfortable, making it hard to keep them open, so I went to Yonsei Eye Clinic for an exam. They say people over 40 should get a check-up once a year, and I realized I hadn’t had an eye exam in almost 5 years. The optometrist systematically conducted basic vision tests, cataract tests, intraocular pressure tests, retinal examinations, tear duct tests, and glaucoma tests. Yonsei Eye Clinic is really clean, and all the equipment is neat, which I liked. The doctor explained the exam results, saying there’s a slight cataract right in the middle of my left eye, and I have early-stage conjunctivitis and overall dry eyes. Luckily, the cataract is in its early stage, so we decided to do a follow-up, and I received eye drops for the conjunctivitis and dryness. The hospital is great.

    UnverifiedOlim Eye Clinic

    I had worsening itching around my eyes due to allergies for a few days, so before it got worse, I looked for an ophthalmologist around Gangnam. I found this clinic while searching for one that also offered general consultations, as most of the clinics I came across were primarily focused on vision correction. I visited because the itching was severe, and they did a great job with the general examination and provided detailed explanations. The doctor carefully evaluated my symptoms and made a good diagnosis, and the staff were friendly during registration and payment, which I appreciated. However, when I received the detailed receipt for the consultation fee at the end, there was one item on the examination list that I hadn't received, so I had to correct it. It took about 5 minutes to process the refund and issue a new payment along with a new receipt. If I hadn't received the detailed receipt, I wouldn’t have known about this issue, so I think the clinic could pay a little more attention to this kind of detail.

    UnverifiedKim's Eye Clinic

    I visited Kims Eye Clinic to have my elementary school-aged child’s eyes examined. After checking in, they carefully conducted a vision test and several other eye examinations. I also appreciated how thoroughly they explained the results in a way that was easy for a parent to understand. My child seemed comfortable throughout the process and was able to complete the examination without feeling too stressed. After the examination, we were prescribed MyoGuard for my child and eye drops to help manage the progression of myopia. They also kindly explained how to use the medication and what precautions to take, so I think we’ll be able to manage it easily at home. The clinic was clean, and both the staff and medical team were friendly and attentive, making it a satisfying visit. If you’re a parent worried about your child’s eye health and considering an eye examination, I think it would be worth visiting. We plan to continue with regular checkups and ongoing care.

    I visited the eye clinic because my vision was blurred, and they were incredibly thorough from the vision test to explaining the condition of my eyes. The testing equipment was state-of-the-art, which gave me confidence, and the doctor calmly explained the test results in a way that was easy to understand. After getting some eye drops prescribed and using them for a few days, I felt better right away. I'm 100% coming back for a follow-up! I also had to visit again urgently because of conjunctivitis, but the waiting time wasn't long, and the treatment was quick and precise. I appreciated that there was no unnecessary treatment suggested. The medication worked really fast; I noticed a significant improvement in just one day. This seems like a great place for a quick eye check-up. Additionally, the doctor mentioned that my issue was due to my habit of rubbing my eyes and provided some lifestyle advice that was helpful. The eye drops were gentle and soothing, so I'm very satisfied! I've really felt my eyes becoming more comfortable lately.

    Recently, I've noticed that my vision has been a bit blurry and feels like it's deteriorating, so I went in for a detailed exam. I was worried that the eye exams would be complicated because there are so many types of tests, but the optometrists guided me efficiently through the process, so it all went quickly without any waiting time. They have the latest equipment, which allows for precise data analysis, and that's a huge plus. The doctor explained my eye condition in great detail based on the exam results and even kindly shared daily management tips to help prevent dry eyes, which was really helpful. I felt that instead of recommending unnecessary procedures, they genuinely cared about my eye health. The clinic was very comfortable and clean, so I felt reassured during my visit. I'm really glad I found a place I can trust with my precious eye health.

    UnverifiedJeil Eye Hospital

    I think it’s because I spend a lot of time looking at computers and my phone, but my eyes have been stinging and feeling dry, so I went to the ophthalmologist. Even when I put in artificial tears, it only helps temporarily and my eye fatigue was really severe. I got a vision test and tear film test at the hospital, and they told me I have pretty severe dry eye. The doctor checked the condition of my eyelid oil glands and explained that I should often do warm compresses and get into the habit of blinking more. He said it's much better to use prescription artificial tears with the right concentration rather than the ones you buy at the pharmacy, so I got a specific eye drop prescription. It’s definitely made a difference; since I’ve been using the prescribed artificial tears and paying attention to my eye care, the stinging has decreased and my eyes have become clearer. When your eyes are dry and feel rough, it’s better to not try to tough it out, but to go to the ophthalmologist, check your condition, and get a prescription.

    A few days ago, the inside of my eye kept getting red and I felt a lot of discomfort, so I visited the ophthalmologist. At first, I thought it was just simple fatigue and used artificial tears, but the redness worsened and my eye started to sting. After some tests at the hospital, they said my dryness had worsened and inflammation had set in. They also checked my vision and eye pressure, and I felt reassured because they were very thorough. The doctor explained that my habit of looking at my smartphone or computer for long periods can easily lead to dry eyes, and advised me to reduce wearing contact lenses for a while and to give my eyes frequent breaks. After using the prescribed eye drops for about a day, the redness began to subside a bit and the stinging decreased significantly. The hospital was clean inside, and the wait time wasn’t long, so I was able to receive treatment comfortably. I think it was a good decision not to hesitate and go to the ophthalmologist quickly.

    I've been wearing contact lenses for a long time, and by the time I finish work, my eyes often feel really dry and bloodshot. So, I started looking into LASIK and decided to take the tests and have a consultation first... Honestly, I was surprised at how many different tests there were! It felt like they used several machines to check every detail of my eye condition, which made it feel different from places that only do simple consultations. Since my eyes are quite sensitive, I was particularly worried about dryness, but they took that into consideration when explaining things, which I appreciated! They didn’t just push me to have the surgery; instead, they focused on what options were available according to my current eye condition and what I should be cautious about, which made me trust them more! After the tests, I realized that my estimated vision and the actual condition of my eyes were a bit different, which was interesting. I'm still contemplating the surgery, but at least my vague anxiety has significantly decreased!

    After thinking for a long time about Smile LASIK, I decided to go with Onnuri Smile Eye Clinic since quite a few acquaintances had already had it done. I was also torn between Smile LASIK and Smile LASIK Pro, but in the end, I went for the Pro version, and I'm really satisfied. The surgery time was very short, and Dr. Kim Bug-gi performed it in a calm and steady manner, which really eased my nerves. The optometrists and nurses were also professional and friendly, which made me feel confident. I had eye exams at other clinics, but Onnuri Smile Eye Clinic had a much wider range of tests and felt more systematic. I had the surgery yesterday and came in for a check-up today, and my vision is already 1.0 in both eyes! They said it could improve even more, so I'm going to make sure to take care of my eyes. Right after the surgery, the pain wasn’t as bad as I expected, and overall, it was a very satisfying experience.

    UnverifiedYonsei Bright Eye Clinic

    Yonsei Clear Light Eye Clinic is a much-appreciated eye clinic that opened recently in Saesol-dong, an area that didn’t have one before. Until this clinic opened, Saesol-dong residents had to drive at least 15 minutes to places like Gojan-dong or Sadong, or toward Ansan or Hwaseong City Hall, whenever they had an eye condition or needed a detailed vision test. I have severe dry eye, and it’s been 20 years since I had LASIK surgery, so I need to have my eye health checked regularly. Even when I just wanted a prescription for artificial tears or anti-inflammatory eye drops, I had to travel a long way, so this clinic has taken away that frustrating inconvenience. All the staff, including the director, are very kind. The examination equipment is also state-of-the-art, which makes me feel confident, and I really like that the wait times aren’t long. I feel reassured knowing Yonsei Clear Light Eye Clinic is here.

    This was my first health checkup here, and thanks to the nurse’s kind guidance, I had no trouble going through the examination. First, I spoke with Dr. Im Jaehyun, and then had a urine test, vision test, hearing test, mammogram, chest X-ray, and blood test. After that, I had a carotid ultrasound, upper abdominal ultrasound, and thyroid ultrasound, followed by an upper endoscopy. When I went in for the endoscopy, they first sprayed a numbing medicine into my throat. Then I lay down and they put something like a mouthpiece in my mouth, but my tongue got caught slightly and was nicked a little. Still, the endoscopy was completed without any problems, and I was able to hear the doctor’s findings afterward. I chose to receive the results on my phone, and once they are available, I will visit the hospital again to have them explained to me. All the staff were kind and organized throughout the process, so I had a pleasant experience during the checkup.

    This afternoon, something suddenly got into my eye, and it was really stinging. I tried rubbing it and shedding tears, but it didn't get better, so I left work early and went to Kim Eye Clinic. I had brought my child here before when their eyesight wasn't good, and the doctor was so kind when explaining things to my child that I decided to visit myself. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many customers, so I was seen quickly. After registering, they measured my eye pressure first, which seemed fine. After waiting a little, I went into the exam room where the doctor checked my eyes with a flashlight from different angles. It didn't seem like there was anything seriously wrong, but the doctor mentioned I might have dry eye syndrome and said that if I used the prescribed eye drops for a week, it would get better, so I left with the prescription. I think I need to keep up with eye care, especially in this dry weather. If you're in Wonju, it's worth checking out Kim Eye Clinic.

    I underwent cataract surgery at Busan St. Mary’s Eye Clinic. The procedure took place over a two-day, one-night stay, and I was hospitalized for a day so the medical team could monitor my recovery after surgery. My eye condition had already been poor before the surgery, which made daily life difficult, and I was also very worried and afraid about having the operation. After the surgery, the pain was worse than I had expected, and the discomfort in my eye was quite severe, so there were many moments when it was hard to endure. However, the medical team explained that if I continued to postpone treatment, my symptoms could worsen or I could miss the right time for treatment. I decided that it would not be good to delay it any longer and went ahead with the surgery. Even though I knew I would have to endure considerable pain and discomfort, I felt that getting treatment right away was necessary for the future health of my eyes and my recovery. Even after being discharged, I have continued to visit the hospital regularly for treatment as instructed by the medical team. I am monitoring my recovery while checking the condition of the surgical site and changes in my vision.

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.
