Question 1

I am 53 years old; how much will it cost in total?

Accepted Answer

Hello! This is Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic.^^ Are you inquiring about the cost of presbyopia cataract surgery?

Question 2

Hello, this is Park In-Soo, who had a consultation previously. I hope you have been well.
I apologize for reaching out again.
During the previous consultation, I believe it was mentioned that the multifocal lens costs 150, but I recently saw an advertisement online stating that the monofocal lens also costs 150. I am curious about which one is correct. Additionally, I am 68 years old; is there an age surcharge for this?

Accepted Answer

Hello, dear customer. This is Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic. The multifocal lens starting at 1.5 million KRW is the EyeHance lens, while the monofocal lenses are available starting at 230,000 KRW. There is no additional charge based on age for the surgery, though it may apply to future outpatient visits. 
A detailed surgery consultation will also be possible after the thorough examination, so if you would like to make an appointment for the examination, please request a consultation through CashDoc, and our hospital will assist you promptly. Please apply at the bottom of the hospital event details page. Thank you.

Question 3

My vision has sharply declined, and I am experiencing quite a bit of discomfort. I'm reaching out because your prices seem very reasonable.
I am curious about which products you use.
If I proceed with the surgery, I can take time off in November due to work commitments; will this amount cover it?

Accepted Answer

Hello, dear customer. This is Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic. There are various types of multifocal lenses available. Currently, the promotional price for presbyopia cataract surgery will be offered through November, so if you request a consultation via CashDoc, our hospital will assist you promptly. Please apply at the bottom of the hospital event details page! Thank you ^^

Question 4

I have been very interested in presbyopia surgery for a while. What is the difference between presbyopia and cataracts? I have insurance; can I file a claim? What does monocular mean?

Accepted Answer

Hello, dear customer, this is Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic.
Presbyopia is a condition that occurs as we age, where the lens's ability to adjust decreases, causing difficulty in seeing near objects, while cataracts refer to the clouding of the lens. The term 'monocular' refers to one eye. It would be advisable to check with your personal insurance provider regarding claims. We can issue all necessary documents at our clinic.

Question 6

Question 9

I can see nearby objects without issues, but I struggle to read books for more than 10 minutes. I want to read, but even with glasses, my vision remains the same. Is there a good solution? I am in Gyeongnam province.

Accepted Answer

Hello, dear customer, this is Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic. You mentioned that you have been having difficulty seeing near objects recently. While you can read a book with reading glasses, many individuals consider presbyopia surgery due to the inconvenience of glasses.

[Health Column] SMILE Pro: Is It Really True That Autumn Is Better Than Summer? The Truth About Timing of Surgery Answered by an Ophthalmologist

I am wondering if the sensation of focusing taking longer than blurry vision is a symptom worth getting checked at an ophthalmologist.

Do I need to get a separate retinal examination even if my vision is fine during the eye checkup?
