Balgeunseang Eye Clinic (BS Eye Clinic) Gangnam

"BGSS Eye Clinic did an incredible job from my initial interest request, throughout the entire procedure, and even the post surgery check ups. I was interested in either SMILE or ICL surgery. When I arrived, they ran a battery of tests (took about an hour), and then had an in depth consultation (in both English and Korean) explaining the pros and cons of both. I did not feel pressured to choose a more expensive option and all their recommendations were tied to my exam results. I ended up getting V-Toric ICL in my right eye (due to a high level of astigmatism) and Evo+ ICL in my left the same afternoon as the tests. Recovery has been very easy and they have explained the post surgery care process in depth. I especially want to express my gratitude to Jenny who was my translator and coordinator from start to finish. She spent the entire day explaining everything, translating, and advocating for me. She was present over Whatsapp even prior to the consultation date, and set up my post procedure follow up appointments, making sure to be present then as well. The pricing was very reasonable at about a quarter of what I expected to pay in the States. I could not recommend this clinic more for corrective eye surgery!!!"

"I had a fantastic experience visiting Seoul and getting surgery done with BGSS Eye Clinic. They were very easy to get in contact with to schedule my procedure. I decided to get the Zeiss SMILE Pro with CXL procedure done with Dr. Sang-Il Ahn and I am very happy with the results. The whole team was very welcoming and professional. They also arranged to have a nurse who spoke English to accompany me throughout all the eye examinations done and during the actual procedure, which made the experience much more comfortable as a foreigner. My nurse, Jenny, also assisted me with arranging a taxi back to my hotel. I heavily recommend getting eye surgery done here while visiting South Korea."

"I underwent an EVO+ Aqua ICL surgery with Dr.Sang-Il Ahn yesterday. Everything went smoothly despite my nerves prior to the procedure. The eye examination was done very thoroughly to ensure the patient’s safety. The staff are friendly and helpful. Big thanks to Yong, my English translator who made every interaction easy and seamless. I also appreciate how they are transparent with the pricing. If you are a US military affiliated person living in Pyeongtaek, they have a free shuttle to the clinic on the surgery day. Super convenient and foreigner friendly."

"I recently had ICL (렌즈삽입술) surgery at 서울밝은세상안과 (BGSS Eye Clinic), and the entire experience was surprisingly smooth and comfortable. The whole process took only about one hour which felt surprisingly quick and afterward they provided a cozy lounge area where I could rest calmly. I was nervous before, but it turned out way easier than I imagined. As a foreigner in Korea, I also really appreciated how foreigner-friendly the clinic was, with clear explanations and an organized system that made everything easy and reassuring. Overall, it was quick, professional, and far less scary than I expected."

"Decided to go with BGSS for my ZEISS SMILE PRO + CXL surgery from a friend’s recommendation and it was indeed one of the best life-changing decision ever. My surgery was performed by Dr Je Myung Lee who was professional and encouraging throughout. I had the surgery on day 3 of my trip and by the next day, I was able to go around freely with clear vision! It was amazing to recover in Korea as well, surrounded by nature and the greenery around. Went back for a follow up on the last day of my trip (~6 days after the surgery) and everything was good as expected. Vision was 20/16 and I can even get medical certificates and full report in English for my trip back to Singapore in case of any follow up. Last but not least, a special shoutout to Yong and Devon, who has been really kind and a great presence around for the whole day (which really helps to calm the nerves)! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any friends and family who would like to perform eye surgery to do it here at BGSS. 👍🏼"
