No surgery anywhere is risk-free, so here is what you can verify instead of taking anyone's word: the clinic has operated at the same Gangnam address since 2005, reports over 300,000 eyes treated across vision correction and cataract surgery (2023), and runs every candidate through around 50 precision tests before a surgeon confirms any procedure. Screening comes first - the exam can and does rule surgery out.
It depends on your procedure and your exam results, so we confirm it in consultation rather than printing a number that might not survive your exam. Laser correction, lens implantation and cataract surgery each run on different rhythms - cataract surgery, for instance, is done one eye at a time, one to two days apart. Send your prescription and travel window; your coordinator maps the days with you before you book flights.
Yes. International consultation runs in English over WhatsApp or the form, with replies within one business day, coordinated by Portzone Co., Ltd. - a registered foreign patient attraction agency (A-2026-01-01-07030) working with the clinic. Scheduling, preparation and logistics are handled in English end to end; clinical questions are answered by the medical team through that channel.
The price list on our home page shows the regular price and the Mediport partner price for each procedure, in Korean won (KRW). Your final treatment and cost are confirmed by the doctor after your in-clinic examination - the exam decides which procedure your eyes support and, for lens-based surgery, which lens fits. What we can tell you before you fly: the factors that determine your cost and a pre-assessment of your likely direction. The Pricing Inquiry page explains both.
