Treatments
Choose what brings you here. Treatment depends on your test results, so the right option is decided after an examination.
For Short-sightedness and astigmatism in people with suitable corneas.
A femtosecond laser, the FEMTO Z8, makes a small lens-shaped piece of corneal tissue and removes it through a 2 mm opening. No corneal flap is made. The clinic says the average surgery takes about 15 minutes.
For Strong prescriptions, thin corneas or dry eyes, where laser correction may not suit.
A lens is placed inside the eye without cutting the cornea, and it can be removed later if needed. The clinic lists EVO+ Aqua ICL, ECHO IPCL, Optiflex Glaze and PhakiFlex KPL. The doctor explains which suits your eye.
For Children with progressing short-sightedness, or adults who do not want surgery.
A special contact lens worn while you sleep that reshapes the cornea for the next day. The fitting starts with detailed tests and a trial lens.
For Blurred or foggy vision, glare in bright light, or double vision.
The clouded lens is replaced with an artificial lens. The clinic offers laser-assisted cataract surgery with the VICTUS femtosecond laser.
For People who want to see near, middle and far distances after cataract surgery.
Lens models listed by the clinic include Tecnis Eyhance, Tecnis Odyssey, Clareon PanOptix and Vivinex Gemetric. The doctor chooses with you after tests.
For People whose work or habits focus on one distance.
One focal distance is corrected. You will usually need reading glasses for near work, or glasses for distance.
For People in their 40s and 50s with presbyopia and no cataract yet.
A lens placed in the eye that keeps your own lens and cornea, and can be removed if it does not suit. The clinic says it is not suitable for people in their 20s to 40s who have had refractive surgery.
For Diabetes, high blood pressure, strong short-sightedness, age over 50, or changes in vision.
The retina is examined for conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vessel occlusion and retinal detachment.
For Age over 40, a family history, high eye pressure, diabetes or short-sightedness.
Eye pressure, visual field, the optic nerve and nerve fibre layer are all checked. Glaucoma is usually managed for life with regular visits. Dr. Yoon worked in the glaucoma department at Kim's Eye Hospital.
For Burning, grit, dryness or a feeling of irritation, including from meibomian gland dysfunction.
Tests with the Keratograph 5M, then a programme that may include cleansing, warm compress care, IPL treatment with Aqua Cel and a mask pack.

How we work
From the consultation before surgery to the regular check-ups afterwards, one attending doctor is responsible for your care.
A safety testing system aims to miss nothing before a decision. On the day of a dilated exam, near vision is blurred and you should not drive, so bring someone or use public transport.
The clinic runs a sterilisation system and an infection prevention programme. After surgery, patients are followed with regular check-ups, which the clinic describes as lifelong care.
For international patients

Detailed tests and a talk with the doctor decide which treatment fits. A dilated exam can take over an hour.
