Eye Check-up for Office Workers — 3 minutes from Gangnam Station, no waiting with an appointment
If your eyes stare at a monitor all day and feeling dim and dry has long become normal, it is time for a check-up. St. Mary's Jin Eye Center is a 3-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 5 — close enough to step out of the office, get checked, and go back.
This check-up is for
- Those who look at a monitor or smartphone for 8+ hours a day (suspected VDT syndrome)
- Those whose eyes sting and feel dry every afternoon (dry eye)
- Those told of abnormal intraocular pressure or optic nerve findings at a health screening
- Those in their 40s whose near vision has started to blur
- Those curious about their eye condition before looking into LASIK, LASEK, or ICL
What the office-worker eye check-up includes
| Package | Main tests | Time required |
|---|---|---|
| Basic eye check-up | Visual acuity and refraction, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp examination, etc. | About 30 minutes |
| Dry eye focused check-up | Basic check-up + tear film and dry eye evaluation | About 30–40 minutes |
| Comprehensive detailed check-up | Basic check-up + detailed tests such as OCT (optic nerve and macula tomography) | About 1 hour |
The specialist adjusts the tests according to your eye condition and symptoms. If pupil dilation is included, it takes longer and you should avoid driving afterward. Costs are provided at your visit or by phone.
