What should I know about waiting and exam times?
| Item | What the clinic advises |
|---|---|
| Reservations | Booked patients are seen first; walk-ins may wait |
| Examinations | Additional tests may be added depending on your case; the exam battery takes about 2 hours |
| Dilation (mydriatic) tests | Add about 30 minutes — and you cannot drive yourself afterward, so bring a companion or use public transit |
Finding the clinic
Vision correction (SMILE, LASIK, ICL screening) starts at the 16F exam center. Retina and cataract care starts at the 8F clinic. The 15F surgical floor is where operations happen. If you booked through the international team, your coordinator confirms the floor before you arrive — see the clinic tour for photos of each floor.
Gangnam Station is a major hub on Seoul Metro Line 2 and the Sinbundang Line, with direct airport bus routes serving the Gangnam area. Your coordinator can suggest the practical route and timing for your arrival day as part of planning your visit.
You can drive there — underground valet parking is available, though the mechanical tower may not fit SUVs or large cars. But if your exam includes dilation testing, you cannot drive yourself home afterward, so the clinic recommends public transit or bringing a companion on exam day.
No. Start with the free online consultation or WhatsApp, and the international team coordinates your visit in English, including appointment scheduling around your travel dates.
