Restore clear vision with a lens tailored to your eyes and lifestyle, by university-hospital-trained cataract surgeons — Gangnam, Seoul.
Cataract & Presbyopia Surgery
Cataract surgery replaces the eye’s clouded natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Multifocal / extended-depth-of-focus lenses can improve near, intermediate, and distance vision, reducing dependence on glasses. The right lens depends on your eyes, daily activities, and night-vision needs — chosen together after examination.
Why here
Cataract and presbyopia care is a core focus of our center. Our Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital-trained surgeons guide lens selection and perform surgery, with a wide range of premium IOLs. For international (non-Korean-insured) patients, cataract surgery is a self-pay procedure.

Korea’s First: TECNIS Odyssey™ IOL
Odyssey is designed to deliver a continuous full range of vision — distance, intermediate, and near — with an improved night-vision profile compared with earlier multifocals. It treats cataracts and presbyopia in a single procedure.
14 Premium IOL Options — Matched to Your Lifestyle
We carry one of the widest IOL line-ups in Gangnam: monofocal (Clareon), enhanced monofocal (Eyhance, Precizon Go), extended-depth-of-focus (Clareon Vivity, PureSee), and trifocal/full-range lenses (PanOptix, PanOptix PRO, FineVision, Synergy, Lisa TRI, Odyssey). Your lens is chosen from measurement data and your daily activities — night driving, reading, golf, or screen work — not from what happens to be in stock.
For international patients (not enrolled in Korean National Health Insurance), cataract surgery is fully self-pay. IOL-inclusive prices per eye range from KRW 1,500,000 (Clareon monofocal) to KRW 6,500,000 (PanOptix PRO) — see the full price guide. Surgery itself takes about 10 minutes per eye, and you go home the same day.
