Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Korean health insurance to be treated? No. Vision correction is a non-insured procedure in Korea, and international patients without Korean insurance can receive every service at the same listed prices as local patients. See our price guide for details.
How do I pay? Major international credit cards and cash (KRW) are accepted, and you will receive itemized receipts you can submit to your own insurer at home.
Can I really finish everything in one trip? For most procedures, yes. A typical visitor completes the pre-operative examination and surgery early in the week, attends scheduled follow-up checks, and is cleared to fly home after about one week of observation.
What languages does your eye clinic support? Consultations are available in English at the clinic, and our online chat answers in English, Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian and Indonesian 24/7. On-site interpretation in other languages can be arranged when booked in advance.
Will I receive my medical records? Yes. We provide an English summary of your examination results, surgery details and medication list so your local ophthalmologist can continue follow-up care after you return home.
How do I book as an international patient? Message us through the free online consultation below, or call +82-2-577-7782 during clinic hours. Tell us your travel dates and we will plan the examination, surgery and follow-up schedule around your stay at our English-speaking eye clinic in Gangnam.
What should I bring to my first visit? Please bring your passport, your current glasses or contact-lens prescription if you have one, and a list of any medications you take. If you wear contact lenses and plan a laser vision correction screening, let us know when booking — you may be asked to pause lens wear beforehand so the corneal measurements are accurate.
