Key takeaways
If you are a foreign resident or medical tourist looking for an English-speaking clinic in Ansan, confirm language support before you book: it varies by clinic, and none of the public data compared here states which languages a clinic's staff speak. Call the clinic or check its own booking page, and bring your ARC or passport, a list of the eye drops or medicines you currently use, and your contact lens prescription if you wear lenses.
If you are looking for a dry eye clinic in Ansan (안산), you can start by comparing 성모안과의원 (Seongmo Eye Clinic) and 한빛안과의원 (Hanbit Eye Clinic), the two clinics whose reviews mention visits for dryness-related symptoms. Seongmo Eye Clinic has reviews about redness and dryness caused by contact lens wear, and its Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) registration lists one ophthalmology specialist. Hanbit Eye Clinic has a review from a visitor whose gritty, itchy, uncomfortable eyes lasted more than a month, and its Kakao rating is 4.2. However, for neither clinic does the available data confirm a dedicated dry eye service or the treatment equipment and programmes on offer. Reviews alone therefore cannot guarantee treatment outcomes or establish any clinic as the best.
The clinic with the most striking review volume is 에스안과의원 (Eseu Eye Clinic), with 2,059 Naver reviews and 1,691 blog reviews. 안산연세안과의원 (Ansan Yonsei Eye Clinic) has 579 Naver reviews and 525 blog reviews. Ratings and review counts differ by platform, so when you are choosing an eye clinic in Ansan it is worth checking location, opening hours, what is covered in the consultation, parking and whether booking is possible.
How we analysed the data
The collected data includes 3,870 Naver Place visitor reviews, 192 Kakao Map reviews and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration data. For each clinic we listed Naver reviews, blog reviews, Kakao reviews and Google reviews separately. Blog reviews may differ in nature from visitor reviews, so we did not treat a combined platform total as a single visitor review count. The average Kakao Map rating of the five selected clinics is 3.2. Naver ratings, and ratings for some clinics, were not included in the source data and are marked "Not available". Reviews are individual experiences and do not mean every patient will have the same experience.
Clinic-by-clinic details
에스안과의원 (Eseu Eye Clinic)
This is the clinic to look at when review volume is your first filter. It has 2,059 Naver reviews, 1,691 blog reviews and 157 Kakao reviews, while Google reviews were counted as 0. Ratings are 2.3 on Kakao and 4.6 on Google. Scores differ by platform, and no Naver rating was available. HIRA data shows no information on the number of ophthalmology specialists, so if you want to compare clinics by specialist count you need to ask the clinic directly.
“The explanations are detailed.” (수혁맘37, 2 October 2026, Kakao review)
“The front desk staff and the doctor are all kind and thorough. They always greet you with a smile and guide you kindly, so I feel good every time I come. Thanks to them I can receive treatment with peace of mind.” (강이s, 29 September 2026, Kakao review)
The address is 경기 안산시 단원구 고잔로 76 401호, 709 m from Exit 1 of Jungang Station (중앙역) on the Suin–Bundang Line. Opening hours are listed as 09:30–18:30 Monday to Thursday, 09:30–20:00 on Friday and 09:00–14:00 on Saturday. Friday has an evening schedule, but the cut-off time for registration is not in the data, so check before you go. Lunch break information was not provided either.
Booking, separate men's and women's restrooms, a waiting area and parking are listed as amenities. A booking website and an Instagram link are provided, but bookable times and parking conditions need separate confirmation. Reviews include both comments that explanations were detailed and complaints about how treatment options and changes to a procedure were explained, so it is practical to ask in advance, in specific terms, about the purpose of your visit and the tests or procedures you need.
No information on dry-eye-specific care, testing or treatment appears in the source data. If you plan to visit for dryness, a foreign body sensation or redness, ask before booking whether those symptoms can be seen and which tests are available. A high review count alone cannot tell you how well a clinic handles dry eye.
안산연세안과의원 (Ansan Yonsei Eye Clinic)
It has 579 Naver reviews, 525 blog reviews, 6 Kakao reviews and 83 Google reviews. The Kakao rating is 2.9 and the Google rating is 3.7, while no Naver rating was available. HIRA data shows no information on the number of ophthalmology specialists, so comparing clinics by specialist count has limits here. Reviews mention explanations of treatment and thorough care positively, while some also describe discomfort with the reception desk.
“They explained things in detail and in an easy way, and answered my questions sincerely.” (Lumos96, 17 June 2026, Naver review)
“I happened to visit while looking for an eye clinic, and it was very comfortable; the doctor examined me thoroughly, so I could be seen at ease.” (kn1190, 5 June 2026, Naver review)
The address is 경기 안산시 단원구 고잔2길 59 신세기빌딩 5층. At 330 m from Exit 1 of Jungang Station, it has the shortest listed walk from the exit among the selected clinics. Hours are 09:30–18:30 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 09:30–20:00 on Tuesday and Friday, and 09:30–14:00 on Saturday. Tuesday and Friday have evening schedules, but the registration cut-off and lunch break are not confirmed, so ask by phone.
No amenity information was provided. The homepage and blog links are given as a Naver Blog, and the phone number is 031-487-9077. Reviews include both comments that explanations were easy to understand and comments about discomfort with staff at the desk, so check in advance how consultations are handled and how waiting and registration work, since these matter to different people in different ways.
No information on dry-eye-specific care or treatment methods appears in the data. If your eyes are dry or you feel a foreign body sensation, note how long the symptoms have lasted, whether you wear lenses, and any previous consultations or prescriptions before you call; this helps you pass on the information needed for a consultation. This is not a substitute for medical care, only a tip for preparing your visit.
한빛안과의원 (Hanbit Eye Clinic)
It recorded 207 Naver reviews, 171 blog reviews, 7 Kakao reviews and 6 Google reviews. The Kakao rating is 4.2 and the Google rating is 4.0, while no Naver rating was provided. HIRA data shows no information on the number of ophthalmology specialists. Reviews include an experience of having the cause of unexplained eye discomfort explained, so people who value clear explanations in consultation may want to look at this clinic as a candidate. That experience alone, however, cannot establish expertise in dry eye or treatment effectiveness.
“The doctor explained the cause well, told me to ask anything I was curious about, and answered sincerely and in a way that was easy to understand.” (LBg, 28 July 2026, Naver review)
“My eyes were itchy and gritty from seasonal allergies and even red, and my head felt foggy, so I went to an eye clinic a colleague recommended.” (K마마브랜딩 다행쌤, 22 April 2026, Naver review)
The address is 경기 안산시 단원구 예술대학로 9 보배프라자 5층, 407 m from Exit 1 of Jungang Station. Hours are listed as 09:30–18:00 Monday to Friday and 09:30–13:00 on Saturday. No evening schedule appears in the source data, and lunch break is not confirmed either. A review mentions that parking in Jungang-dong was inconvenient, so if you need parking, ask in advance about available car parks and conditions.
The phone number is 031-414-0204 and a homepage is provided. The booking method and amenity information are not in the data, so they need to be confirmed before you visit. Reviews also mention experiences with waiting and the reception desk, so asking about expected waiting times and whether same-day registration is possible will make your visit easier to plan.
Some visitor reviews mention gritty and itchy eyes, but there is no information about the clinic's dedicated dry eye care or treatment equipment. Rather than judging from Ansan dry eye clinic reviews alone, check directly whether your dry symptoms can be assessed, which tests are used and how follow-up care is handled.
성모안과의원 (Seongmo Eye Clinic)
It has 585 Naver reviews, 342 blog reviews and 6 Google reviews, while Kakao reviews were counted as 0. No rating information was provided. HIRA lists one ophthalmology specialist and ophthalmology as the specialty. Among the reviews is an experience mentioning lens wear with redness and dryness, so you can refer to a real visit related to dry eye symptoms. Whether the clinic specialises in dry eye, and its testing and treatment methods, are not confirmed by the data.
“I went to have my eyes checked for redness and dryness from wearing contact lenses.” (Ds0427, 14 September 2026, Naver review)
“My vision suddenly became blurry and I could not see well, so I was flustered, but they examined me kindly and the doctor explained everything in detail, which put me at ease.” (huhu맘, 17 April 2026, Naver review)
The address is 경기 안산시 상록구 본삼로 51 리치스빌딩. It is listed as 308 m from Exit 1 of Sangnoksu Station (상록수역). Hours are 09:00–18:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and 09:00–15:00 on Saturday; Thursday's hours are not in the data. Whether the clinic is closed on Thursday and whether it offers evening hours cannot be confirmed, so check by phone before visiting. Lunch break information was not provided either.
The phone number is 031-418-6001, and amenity and homepage information is not in the data. A review mentions that the clinic was busy, so if waiting time worries you, confirm the time to visit and the registration cut-off first. Parking information is also not provided, so if you come by car, ask whether parking is available and what it costs.
The dryness-related reviews describe personal experiences of redness and dryness from lens wear and of having eyes checked. Tell the clinician whether you wear lenses and when your symptoms started, and ask the medical staff about guidance on lens use and whether further tests are needed. Personal advice or treatment experiences in reviews should not be applied directly to anyone else.
단원맑은안과의원 (Danwon Malgeun Eye Clinic)
It has 440 Naver reviews, 156 blog reviews, 22 Kakao reviews and 7 Google reviews. The Kakao rating is 3.5 and the Google rating is 5.0, while no Naver rating was available. HIRA lists one ophthalmology specialist, ophthalmology as the specialty, and one ultrasound imaging device. The registration of an ultrasound imaging device is confirmed, but that alone does not establish that dry eye testing or treatment is available.
“The doctor explains kindly and well, so I have been going for 10 years.” (호이사랑, 19 January 2026, Naver review)
“The doctor and the person helping with the tests are both kind.” (수4946, 11 September 2026, Naver review)
The address is 경기 안산시 단원구 원포공원1로 20 별관 3층. No public transport access information was provided. Hours are listed as 09:00–18:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and 08:30–12:30 on Saturday. Whether the clinic is open on Thursday and whether it offers evening hours cannot be confirmed from the data, and lunch break is not listed either. Before visiting, call 031-8040-5588 to confirm the schedule and the registration cut-off time.
No amenity information was provided. Reviews include both positive and negative experiences with clinical support and the reception process, so asking in advance about booking and the registration cut-off will help you plan. One review suggests asking about treatment facilities, so if you are after a particular test or procedure, it is better to check directly whether that facility and service are available.
No information on dry-eye-specific care or related equipment and treatment appears in the source data. If you plan to visit for dryness, first ask whether dry eye is seen, which tests are needed and whether testing is possible on the same day. Rather than judging suitability from ratings alone, compare clinics against your own symptoms and the care you need.
At-a-glance comparison
Naver ratings and ratings for Seongmo Eye Clinic are not in the source data. "Total reviews" is the sum of Naver, Kakao and Google review counts, excluding blog reviews. We also reflected as-is that Google reviews were counted as 0 for some clinics, including Eseu Eye Clinic.

Checklist for choosing a dry eye clinic
- Whether your symptoms can be seen — confirm before booking that you can be examined for dry eye or dryness symptoms.
- Tests you need — ask which tests can be done for your current symptoms and whether same-day testing is possible.
- Contact lens details — ask the clinician about your lens type and wearing time, and whether you should stop wearing them.
- Symptom record — note when the dryness, foreign body sensation or redness started and when it gets worse, and bring it with you.
- Previous care and medicines — prepare details of any previous treatment and any eye drops you are using so you can tell the clinician.
- How explanations are given — check whether test results and management plans will be explained, and whether there is time for questions.
- Booking and registration cut-off — confirm whether booking is required, whether same-day registration is possible, and when registration closes before the end of the day.
- Opening hours and closures — confirm by phone the Thursday schedule, lunch break and public holiday hours, which are not in the data.
- Parking and transport — check whether parking is available and on what terms, and consider the walk from the station exit if you use public transport.
- Follow-up care — ask the clinician when you should return and what changes in your symptoms should prompt another visit.
Warning signs to watch for
- Tests and treatment are not explained enough — ask which tests are being done, what the results mean and what the next step is, and ask for an explanation.
- Asking questions feels difficult or answers are vague — write down your questions about symptoms and treatment options and ask again, and if needed you can seek a second opinion from another medical institution.
- Registration cut-off and booking conditions are hard to confirm — check by phone what time you can come and whether you can be seen, and confirm again if the information is unclear.
- Judging outcomes from online reviews alone — ratings and reviews are individual experiences. Confirm directly with the medical staff whether dry eye care is available and which tests you need.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start comparing dry eye clinics in Ansan?
You can start by comparing Hanbit Eye Clinic and Seongmo Eye Clinic, which have reviews mentioning visits for dryness or gritty eyes. Whether either clinic specialises in dry eye is not confirmed, so ask directly before you visit.
Which clinic has the most reviews?
By Naver visitor reviews, Eseu Eye Clinic has the most at 2,059. Its 1,691 blog reviews are counted separately and were not added to the visitor review figure. Review counts do not guarantee quality of care or treatment outcomes.
Which clinic has the highest rating?
Among the Kakao ratings provided, the highest is Hanbit Eye Clinic at 4.2. Among Google ratings, Danwon Malgeun Eye Clinic is listed at 5.0. Review counts differ by platform, so ratings are difficult to compare as if they were measured on the same basis.
Where is the number of ophthalmology specialists confirmed?
In the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration data, Seongmo Eye Clinic and Danwon Malgeun Eye Clinic each list one ophthalmology specialist. For the other three clinics the specialist count was not included in the collected data, so it is shown as not available.
Are any clinics open in the evening?
According to the schedules provided, Eseu Eye Clinic is open until 20:00 on Friday, and Ansan Yonsei Eye Clinic until 20:00 on Tuesday and Friday. Registration cut-off times and actual opening hours can change, so confirm with the clinic before you visit.
Can I book an English-speaking appointment at these clinics?
The data compared here does not state which clinics have English-speaking staff, interpreters or international patient services, so no clinic on this list can be confirmed in advance. Call the clinic or use its own booking page and ask directly whether an English-speaking doctor or coordinator is available on the day you plan to attend, and whether you should bring translated records of your prescriptions. If a phone call in Korean is difficult, ask a Korean-speaking friend for help or use a translation app for the first call, then confirm again at the desk.
Final thoughts
When you look for a dry eye clinic in Ansan, rather than deciding on review counts or ratings alone, check together whether dryness symptoms can be seen, which tests are used, how explanations are given, opening hours, registration cut-off and parking. In this data, the clinics whose reviews mention visits related to dry eye were Seongmo Eye Clinic and Hanbit Eye Clinic, and the clinics with one ophthalmology specialist confirmed by the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service were Seongmo Eye Clinic and Danwon Malgeun Eye Clinic. This comparison is based only on the data provided and does not guarantee any clinic's treatment outcomes or replace diagnosis and treatment. Please consult medical staff for assessment and care of your symptoms.
