    UnverifiedBaegot Seoul Eye Clinic

    Recently, my eyes have been getting frequently reddened and dry, and I've been smelling an unpleasant odor similar to bad breath, along with persistent eye gunk, so I went to the eye clinic. After checking my vision, the director carefully examined the inside of my eyelids and the tear film with a slit lamp microscope. The results indicated that my dry eyes and eyelid inflammation were due to meibomian gland dysfunction, and they explained that the inflammation was causing poor hygiene around the eyes, worsening my discomfort. The treatment started with eyelid cleaning (lid cleaning) and warm massage to open clogged oil glands. Afterward, I underwent phototherapy to reduce inflammation and was prescribed artificial tears and anti-inflammatory eye drops. The cleaning process was refreshing without any stinging sensation, and immediately after treatment, I felt my eyes were much clearer. What I appreciated about this clinic is that they don't just prescribe eye drops; they show me the results of my tear film test in numerical form and explain it. They even demonstrated how to clean my eyelids at home, making management easy. About a week after the treatment, the redness and foreign body sensations noticeably decreased.

    UnverifiedSiheung Seoul Eye Clinic

    Recently, I felt a continuous foreign body sensation in my eyes, so I visited Seoul Eye Clinic in Siheung. Every time I blinked, it felt like there was sand in my eyes, and even with artificial tears, it wasn't improving, so I decided to get checked. I didn't have to wait too long after checking in, and everything was neat and organized. After a basic vision test and intraocular pressure test in the exam room, I went into the consultation room, where the doctor immediately performed a slit-lamp examination and explained that I had several conjunctival stones. At first, I was a bit surprised to hear that stones could form in my eyes, but the explanation that waste can harden and cause friction leading to a foreign body sensation was relatively easy to understand. Fortunately, they said it could be removed that day, so I went ahead with the removal. They applied anesthetic drops, so there was hardly any pain, just a little discomfort from keeping my eyes open. The actual removal took less than a few minutes, and they kept checking in to make sure I was alright, which eased my tension. Right after the procedure, I felt a slight stinging sensation, but from the way home, I definitely felt my eyes were better.

    I had a routine eye exam at Dain Eye Clinic to check on my eye health. I didn't have any particular problems with my eyes, but I thought it would be a good idea to get regular checkups, so I decided to visit. After checking in, they went through the basic vision and eye health tests step by step, and the process wasn't difficult at all, so I was able to go through it comfortably. They explained what each test was checking every time, which made it easy to understand the examination process. They carefully checked the overall condition of my eyes and also gave me helpful advice on things to pay attention to in daily life to protect my eye health. There was hardly any test that was particularly uncomfortable or painful, so I could get the checkup without feeling pressured. I hadn't paid much attention to my eye health before, but after having a regular checkup this time, I realized how important it is to check my condition in advance and take care of it. Overall, the examination was carried out in a systematic and comfortable way, and I was very satisfied. I plan to keep visiting regularly for my eye health and get routine checkups in the future.

    I went for cataract surgery and was informed by the doctor that my multifocal lenses would be permanent. I had the multifocal surgery and I'm extremely satisfied. I'm so happy to be free from the discomfort of having to put on and take off glasses and to be able to see the bright world around me. Highly recommend!

    After hitting my mid-40s, I suddenly started to see these black spots floating in front of my eyes, and it was really uncomfortable. At first, I thought it was just tiredness, but when it continued, I got anxious and eventually went for a consultation. The director conducted a very thorough examination and explained whether it was due to aging or another condition one by one, which reassured me. I received treatment that reduces the floaters using laser, and surprisingly, it didn’t hurt as much as I thought; the staff guided me on how to move my eyes throughout the process, so it ended comfortably. Although my vision didn’t clear up immediately after the treatment, after a few days, the spots that were floating around became noticeably fewer, making my daily life much easier. What I liked compared to other ophthalmology clinics was that it wasn’t just about operating the machines; they took care of the patient’s anxiety first. The biggest fear with ophthalmology is the uncertainty, but the director confirmed that my current vision and retina were not concerning, and that one assurance was more comforting than the treatment itself. Overall, the explanation, guidance, examination, and treatment were very systematic, and I was really satisfied. I highly recommend this clinic for those who are troubled by floaters!

    I visited the ophthalmologist because my eyes had been red and stinging for several days, and I was worried. It could just be simple fatigue, but I was also anxious about the possibility of inflammation. From the moment I checked in to the examinations, everything was conducted systematically, which gave me a sense of trust. They started with basic tests to check my vision and the condition of my eyes, and then I entered the consultation room where the doctor showed me my eyes under a microscope and explained in detail the cause of the redness.

    UnverifiedDr. Leaders Internal Medicine Clinic

    I took my first-grade child for a health checkup at Dr. Leaders Internal Medicine in Unjeong! We needed this basic checkup for school submission, and overall it was quick and friendly, which was very satisfying. From the moment we registered, they called my child's name and guided us comfortably, so my child wasn’t nervous at the start. They went through height and weight measurements, vision and hearing tests step by step. They briefly explained the purpose of each test, which made me feel confident as a parent. What I particularly liked was that they also provided a dental checkup. It was so convenient not having to go to a separate dental clinic to get everything checked in one visit. The dentist carefully examined my child's teeth and kindly informed us about the risk of cavities and areas to manage moving forward, which was really helpful. The internal medicine examination was precise and focused on my child's condition without unnecessary lengthy explanations, which relieved my worries, and the entire checkup felt organized and thorough. The waiting time wasn’t long, so there was no burden visiting with my child. If you want a comfortable health checkup for your elementary school child, I recommend Dr. Leaders Internal Medicine.

    UnverifiedHealthy Internal Medicine Clinic

    I stopped by for a health check-up. I had a sleep-assisted upper and lower endoscopy, an X-ray, blood tests, vision and hearing tests, and even a mammogram. First of all, the hospital is located on the 3rd floor, and there’s a parking lot in the building, so it’s easy to find. Parking is also convenient. The problem is that the elevator is currently under construction, so you have to walk up. It might be tough for the elderly. It’s not an old hospital, and the interior is very clean. There was no unnecessary treatment; they removed a polyp from my colon and prescribed medication for gastritis since I had symptoms of it. They provided documents for billing, but later I found out they charged me 10,000 won for the surgery confirmation letter. In my previous hospital, they just provided detailed statements, so I regret not asking. When I got home and reviewed the detailed statement, I realized I paid for the surgery confirmation letter. The endoscopy room was very clean and spacious, but the place I was moved to afterward was really cold. The nurses were kind, and the flow was okay. The changing room was also comfortable. On weekend mornings, there tends to be a bit of a wait for appointments because there are a lot of people coming in for health check-ups.

    Recently, my eyes have been feeling dry and gritty more often, so I visited an eye clinic. I usually spend a lot of time looking at my phone or computer, so my eyes get tired easily, and sometimes they sting or feel like there is something in them. That’s why I decided to get them checked. At the clinic, they first asked me in detail about the symptoms I was experiencing and how uncomfortable they were, then carefully checked my vision and the condition of my eyes. After the examination, they explained that eye strain and dryness could be the cause, and advised me to rest my eyes frequently and make a conscious effort to blink. I was also prescribed artificial tears to use when needed, and was told that managing my daily habits to prevent my eyes from drying out is important. After the consultation, some of the vague concerns I had been worrying about were relieved, and I realized how important it is to take care of my eyes regularly. From now on, I’m going to try to rest my eyes from time to time when using my phone or computer for long periods. If the grittiness or dryness continues, I think it would be a good idea not to just put up with it and get an eye exam at an eye clinic.

    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?...

    UnverifiedBucheon Love Eye Clinic

    My eyes were so itchy from allergies that I rubbed them like crazy, and the next day I got a stye ㅜㅜ I looked for the Bucheon Sarang Eye Clinic, which was the closest one to my home. It was my first visit, but since it was very hot and vacation season, there was no wait, which was nice. The doctor examined my eye with a machine and said it was in an area where the tear duct passes through, so it would be difficult to make an incision. I was prescribed antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and so on. The consultation seemed to take about two minutes lol. I did feel a little disappointed that I wished they had taken a bit more time with me. They weren’t particularly friendly or unfriendly—just somewhere in between haha. The nurses greeted me warmly and were very kind. Anyway, I heard that Bucheon Sarang Eye Clinic is a trusted Eye Clinic that has been looking after the eye health of local residents. They provide careful, professional care for a variety of eye conditions, including Cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, and vision correction. They have experienced ophthalmologists who provide precise, personalized diagnosis and treatment, as well as the latest medical equipment for accurately identifying conditions and performing safe procedures. I heard they’re known for their high patient satisfaction because they provide friendly, patient-centered consultations and a comfortable care environment. Maybe because it was my first visit, the consultation fee came to over 10,000 won, and the medication cost about 10,000 won too... From now on, I’m determined never to rub my eyes and to be careful so I don’t get another stye.

    UnverifiedYK Eye Clinic

    Recently, my eyesight had been getting worse and my eyes were feeling increasingly fatigued, so I visited YK Eye Clinic, which had a reputation for providing very thorough examinations. When I entered the clinic, the entire interior was stylish, clean, and comfortable, which helped me feel much more at ease while waiting. The desk staff who helped me with the registration and all the optometrists welcomed me warmly with bright smiles. Even though it was my first visit, all my tension quickly melted away. They also performed a variety of detailed tests before the consultation. The equipment was clean, and the staff kindly explained each step of the testing process and why it was needed, which put me at ease. The wait wasn’t very long, so I was able to see the director soon afterward. They checked the condition of my eyes incredibly carefully and thoroughly. They clearly explained what was causing my current eye fatigue, and instead of pushing burdensome surgery or unnecessary options, they honestly guided me through a customized prescription and care plan tailored to what my eyes actually needed. This gave me a great deal of confidence in them. After the consultation, they also kindly shared tips for protecting my eye health in everyday life, which was a big help. If you’re looking for a thorough and trustworthy eye clinic, I would highly recommend it!

    UnverifiedGangnam Bright Smile Eye Clinic

    I received treatment for dry eyes (tear treatment) at Gangnam Bright Smile Eye Clinic. I had been told that the tears that flow endlessly in winter are a symptom of presbyopia and that they couldn't be treated, so for years, I cried every winter. However, after hearing from a friend that there was treatment available, I decided to visit. The features of the clinic are as follows: 1. Thorough pre-examination: They conduct a wide range of tests systematically, including vision correction surgeries (like LASIK and LASEK). 2. Direct consultation with the director: It's reassuring that not only the consultation manager but also the director personally checks the eye condition and explains the pros and cons of the surgery and treatment candidly. 3. Avoiding unnecessary treatments: I appreciate that they don't force surgery if it's not suitable for the patient's eye condition, instead recommending conservative treatments. They emphasized that my tear treatment wouldn't completely eliminate tears but would gradually improve. 4. Post-treatment care: Even during regular check-ups after surgery and treatment, the director carefully checks the progress and provides feedback. I've received the dry eye (tear) treatment three times, and after the first two sessions, I started to feel some gradual improvement from the third session. I want to decide on continuing treatment based on the results after the final fifth session. Since this is a treatment, it can also be claimed under health insurance.

    For the past few days, my eyes had been getting tired easily and feeling blurry, so I visited a nearby Pureun Eye Clinic. At first, I thought it was simply because I was tired, but the discomfort continued, so I decided to get an examination. When I entered the clinic, everything from check-in to the initial guidance was handled fairly calmly, which gave me a good first impression. While I was waiting, the staff explained things kindly, so I didn’t feel pressured. During the examination, they didn’t just rush through it all at once. They carefully went through each step, from the vision test to checking the condition of my eyes. When I mentioned the things I was particularly curious about, they explained them in an easy-to-understand way, which I appreciated. In the consultation room, rather than automatically recommending treatment, they explained the current condition of my eyes and how I could take better care of them going forward, which made me feel I could trust them. These days, my eyes get tired quickly when I spend a long time looking at my smartphone or reading, and the advice they gave me about things to be careful about in daily life was helpful. The atmosphere at the clinic was not overly crowded or hectic, so I was able to receive care comfortably. We often don’t pay much attention to our eyes until they start bothering us and then go to the hospital, but after getting my eyes examined this time, I realized that I should have my eye health checked regularly. Overall, it was a visit where I received kind and comfortable care.

    Recently, my eyes have been constantly red and feeling quite irritated, so I decided to visit an eye doctor. At first, I thought it was simply due to fatigue, but after a few days, the symptoms didn't get better, and my eyes felt dry and foreign objects seemed to be stuck in them. Especially on days when I used my computer and phone for a long time, the redness became worse, making daily life quite uncomfortable. When I arrived at the clinic and registered, I first underwent a vision test and a basic eye condition examination. After that, in the consultation room, the doctor conducted a slit lamp examination to check the surface condition of my eyes in detail and explained that I had inflammation in my conjunctiva. Fortunately, it wasn't at a severe stage, but they said that if left untreated, the symptoms could worsen, so we started treatment right away. I was advised to use the prescribed eye drops regularly and also to adjust my lifestyle. They emphasized the importance of blinking more frequently, reducing screen time, and taking breaks in between. They also cautioned against rubbing my eyes with my hands, as that could worsen the inflammation. After using the eye drops for a few days, the redness gradually decreased, and the irritation and sensation of something being in my eye noticeably diminished. With my eyes feeling more comfortable, I felt less fatigued, making daily life much easier.

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.
