I've been going to Samsung Eye Clinic for 5 years. They have many types of tests and conduct them quite meticulously, and the doctors are very caring. I have regular check-ups for cataracts and macular degeneration. It’s located in Jamsil-dong. However, because they have so many patients, I recommend making an appointment to avoid long waiting times and for a more comfortable visit.

I had LASEK surgery using the classic technique with the chief surgeon right before COVID. He’s very skilled, and the aftercare has been great as well. The staff are friendly, and the equipment is good. It’s usually crowded, so you need to make an appointment. My vision is currently 1.2 and has stayed that way.

I get checked once every three months. I had Cataract Surgery on my left and right eyes alternately. I had no idea cataracts could reduce my vision this much. Everything looked blurry and hazy. A few years after the surgery on my left eye, a secondary cataract developed again. Luckily, it was easily treated with a laser and went away, so I was relieved. Since then, I’ve been getting detailed examinations regularly and continuing to have my vision checked. I was told that cataracts are also a type of age-related condition. It’s sad!!! Still, I’m so grateful that modern medicine has made it possible to treat them like this. After several years of test results, I’m relieved that I only need to come back for a checkup in eight months now. I wasn’t able to take a photo of the eye examination.

I came in because I felt like my vision had suddenly gotten worse, and I underwent several tests and consultations. I used to go to a large hospital in the Bongcheon-dong area of Seoul, but after moving to Gimpo, I found this place online. Both the doctor and the hospital staff were very kind and explained everything I was curious about. I was happy that there was no unnecessary treatment.

This is a hospital I visited on the recommendation of an acquaintance. It is conveniently located near Exit 11 of Gangnam Station. I underwent cataract multifocal lens implantation. I am currently receiving follow-up treatment and service for dry eyes after the surgery. Both the doctor and staff are very friendly. The surgery was completed quickly using the latest medical equipment, and I experienced no special pain or discomfort, and the post-operative recovery has been positive. My vision has improved to 1.2, and I am satisfied with the results, as they continue to monitor my condition, so I have been in for treatment for three months now. Fridays tend to have many surgical patients, so it's quieter if you visit from Monday to Thursday. It's a place where national representatives and professional baseball players have received treatment and surgery, so it seems trustworthy. The costs are manageable as the expenses are covered by my insurance.

This is a hospital I visited for treatment for excessive tearing. It seems to be a well-known hospital with considerable expertise in vision correction procedures such as lens implantation, and many famous influencers and athletes have visited for corrective surgery. To be honest, I had already been told at another hospital that my tearing was due to aging and that there was no other treatment. I didn’t even think it could be treated. However, they said here that it could be treated if I kept up with the treatment, so I gave it a try. I don’t know whether it helped other people, but it had little effect on me. That said, the treatment is covered by insurance, so there was no additional financial burden. My experience was that it wasn’t effective, but I don’t think I can conclude that it won’t be effective for others as well. I was satisfied with both the hospital’s facilities and the staff’s friendliness.

I got conjunctivitis and visited during my lunch break at work. This clinic is the closest to my office, so I just went in without thinking much, but the nurses and doctors were all so kind, which was great. The hospital facilities were really clean too. I mentioned that I wanted to check my eyesight since it had been a while, and they kindly helped me with that as well. The cause of the conjunctivitis was definitely the contact lenses. I guess I'll have to live with glasses and put in drops for a while. There's not much waiting time at the clinic, which is nice. I went during my lunch break, and waiting for a long time would have been really troubling. I think I'll come back again. I'll be recommending it to my coworkers too.

My eyesight suddenly got worse recently, which was uncomfortable, so I had my vision checked and got a pair of glasses. I appreciated how carefully they checked my vision and explained everything kindly. The glasses fit comfortably, and once I put them on, the blurry areas became clear, so I was very satisfied.

I visited Cheongna Best Eye Clinic for my son’s eye exam. I did a lot of searching to find out where to go, and decided on this clinic because it had good reviews. Parking wasn’t difficult, and when we visited around 5 p.m., we were able to see the doctor without waiting long. First of all, I liked the clean white interior and the spacious clinic. Since it was an eye exam, they checked his eye pressure and vision, among other things. Fortunately, his vision was still good, and it was even better to hear the doctor say that there were no problems with his eyes. Thanks to the kind nurses, my son was able to have his examination comfortably. We plan to visit regularly to keep an eye on his vision and eye health.

I visited for my child’s myopia and ortho-k lens examinations. I felt reassured because they were very thorough, starting with the vision test and checking the condition of the eyes all the way through to the corneal examination. They also explained in detail everything I was curious about regarding wearing ortho-k lenses, and I appreciated how gently and comfortably they treated my child so they wouldn’t feel nervous during the examination. In particular, they explained the progression of myopia and how to care for the ortho-k lenses in an easy-to-understand way, which made me trust them as a parent. I was satisfied that I could receive advice on the best approach for my child’s eye condition based on the examination results. I plan to continue having regular checkups and pay close attention to my child’s vision care. Thank you for the kind and thorough care.

I took my mother, who turns 70 this year, for an eye examination at Gangnam Shinsegae Eye Clinic. The hospital was clean, spacious, and good. Their diagnostic system was well-organized since they handled everything in one stop. My mom underwent basic vision tests, retina scans, eye pressure testing for glaucoma, and cataract testing. The doctor carefully explained the examination results. Despite her age, her eyesight is good, but she does have early signs of cataracts, which means she might see blurry and have some discomfort. The right eye seems to have progressed a bit more. We decided to keep an eye on it for a few months with follow-up tests. The doctor explains clearly and precisely. I'm keeping my mom's eye health monitored at Gangnam Shinsegae Eye Clinic. I'm satisfied and recommend it.

My elementary school-aged son had a big difference in vision between his two eyes on his school vision screeningㅠㅡㅠ, so we were advised to have him retested at an eye clinic, which is why we visited. We went in the same day without an appointment, but luckily they were able to examine him. There was a wait, but maybe because we went on a weekday, it wasn’t too long. We met with the doctor, explained why we had come, and had the consultation first. The vision test was done afterward. Thankfully, the difference between his eyes wasn’t too severe. They said it was because he has astigmatism in one eye. Since he doesn’t need glasses right away, they recommended monitoring him with an eye exam once every three months. I guess we’ll have to keep a close eye on it.

I've been experiencing presbyopia and severe dry eyes, so I came in for an exam. The doctor was really friendly, and above all, the facility was equipped with the latest technology, rivaling that of a general hospital. It was also very pleasant and made me feel refreshed. The nurses were kind, and the location is convenient, so I definitely recommend it.

My vision was 0.1, and I could barely see, so people around me recommended this place because many of them had the procedure here. I came here and specifically asked Dr. Jong-cheol Lee to do it. I also liked that they seemed to use good equipment for LASEK, and I was even more satisfied because they took such good care of me after the procedure.

My child's eyesight has been getting worse, so we consulted about dream lenses and she is now wearing them. She can maintain her eyesight without glasses and she likes it, so she’s doing well. I've been seeing a male doctor, who is kind and explains things very well. The staff are generally friendly and answer any questions in detail. I've even recommended it to my child’s friends, and they are very satisfied too. We go for check-ups every three months after starting the dream lenses, and it’s been going smoothly without any stressful schedule. Maybe because of the word-of-mouth, the number of patients has really increased lately. I highly recommend it.

I was worried my child would be nervous since it was their first time, but the examination room was bright and comfortable, so my child quickly adjusted. The teacher explained things at my child's level and conducted the tests playfully, so they followed along without being scared. They checked not only the vision numbers but also my child's eye usage habits, smartphone and tablet usage time, which was helpful. They explained the test results in a way that's easy for parents to understand and openly said whether immediate glasses were needed or if we could just observe, which I appreciated. I think it’s a good eye clinic for those whose children are getting their vision checked for the first time without feeling stressed.

The kids had a vision screening at school, and the results weren’t very good, so they told us to go to an eye clinic and get their vision checkedㅜㅜ I hurriedly made an appointment for the same day, and luckily they had an opening, so we went in. Maybe because it just opened, the inside was super clean and really spacious. More than anything, all the equipment was brand-new, and the quality was genuinely impressive. We had four or five different tests, and Dr. Cho Gyoo-yeon explained the results to us. Thankfully, the kids didn’t need glasses. The doctor explained everything really well, and maybe because he’s raising young children himself, he explained things at the kids’ level. He was also quite good-lookingㅎㅎ He told us to come back for another checkup during winter break, so we left feeling relieved!

Before cataract surgery, my dad's eyesight was really blurry and he couldn't see well, so he had the surgery. For two months after the cataract surgery, he consistently took eye drops and medication, visiting the ophthalmologist twice for vision tests. He listened carefully to the doctor's advice about what to do after the surgery: not to look at the monitor up close for a week, avoid washing his face, limit baths, not to stare at his smartphone screen too much, cut back on alcohol, and give his eyes a rest. He was told to keep using the eye drops regularly for two months and to make sure to eat three balanced meals a day. After following this routine and paying careful attention to the doctor's advice, his vision improved.

LASIK and LASEK Special Offer Benefits · Clear Seoul Eye Clinic · 2025-06-17I 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.
