Key Takeaways
For foreign residents and medical tourists: Anyang (안양) is a city just south of Seoul, and all four clinics below are within a few minutes' walk of a subway station exit. The source data for this article does not say which clinics have an English-speaking doctor or interpreter — language support varies by clinic, so confirm by phone or on the clinic's booking page before you travel. Bring your passport or ARC, a list of your current medications, and any previous eye records, and ask when you book whether an English-speaking consultation can be arranged.
By review volume, the largest is 삼성안과의원 (Samsung Eye Clinic) with 2,601 Naver reviews, followed closely by 서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic) with 2,600 Naver reviews. Neither has a Naver rating in the provided data. Among the clinics with a published rating, 서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic) has Google 4.8, 삼성밝은안과의원 (Samsung Balgeun Eye Clinic) Google 3.1, and 태안과의원 (Tae Eye Clinic) Kakao 2.7 and Google 2.8. This data alone cannot tell you about LASIK outcomes or whether you are a suitable candidate. Confirm directly whether each clinic performs LASIK and how its testing and consultation process works before you compare.
How We Analyzed the Data
We collected 7,122 Naver Place visitor reviews, 141 KakaoMap reviews, and registration information from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA). Each clinic's review count adds together the Naver, Kakao, and Google review figures provided, while blog reviews are listed separately and excluded from the total. The total reviews shown below are therefore the sum of the Naver, Kakao, and Google numbers. Naver ratings were not included in the collected data, and platforms with no published rating are marked "Not available." The average KakaoMap rating for the four selected clinics was given as 2.7, but that figure includes clinics with no individual rating, so interpret it with caution.
Clinic-by-Clinic Details
삼성밝은안과의원 (Samsung Balgeun Eye Clinic)
삼성밝은안과의원 (Samsung Balgeun Eye Clinic) had 594 Naver reviews, 330 blog reviews, and 1 Kakao review collected, with a Google rating of 3.1. No Naver rating was provided, and the number of ophthalmology specialists could not be confirmed in the HIRA data. Visitor reviews include experiences of symptoms improving after using eye drops and of staff answering questions, while some say the consultation felt short. Reviews are individual experiences and do not guarantee treatment outcomes.
"It was my first visit, and the clinic was friendly and clean. The necessary eye tests were done quickly, and the doctor listened to my questions calmly and explained things, which made me trust them." (Naver review, June 10, 2026)
"I had LASIK 20 years ago and asked whether I could have it again. I appreciated that the doctor honestly told me it wouldn't be of any benefit in my case." (Naver review, February 21, 2026)
The address is 경기 안양시 동안구 시민대로 311 금강스마트빌딩 3층 301·302호 (3F, Rooms 301–302, Geumgang Smart Building, 311 Simindae-ro, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do), 145 m from Pyeongchon Station exit 3. Hours are 09:30–17:15 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday; 09:30–13:00 on Wednesday; and 09:30–14:00 on Saturday. The provided schedule shows no evening hours, and lunch hours are not listed separately. The phone number is 031-426-3030. Booking methods and parking information are not in the source data, so call to confirm. Whether the clinic performs LASIK and whether the exam fee is included also cannot be confirmed from public data. One review mentions a patient who had LASIK 20 years ago asking about re-treatment, but that does not indicate individual eligibility — this must be confirmed through a detailed examination and consultation.
삼성안과의원 (Samsung Eye Clinic)
삼성안과의원 (Samsung Eye Clinic) had 2,601 Naver reviews, 1,117 blog reviews, and 10 Google reviews collected. Kakao reviews are 0 and no rating data is available. Its Naver visitor review count is the highest of the four, but review volume alone cannot assess LASIK suitability or outcomes. The HIRA data does not include the number of ophthalmology specialists. Reviews include both comments that crowds can mean a wait and comments that staff guidance was well organized, so crowding and service experience may vary depending on when you visit.
"There were so many people that the wait was long. Mornings seem to be like that most of the time." (Naver review, October 14, 2026)
"It's always crowded, but the staff are split into clear roles, which is good, and everyone was kind, so I keep going back." (Naver review, September 18, 2026)
The address is 경기 군포시 산본로323번길 15 동산상가 3층 (3F, Dongsan Shopping Center, 15 Sanbon-ro 323beon-gil, Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi-do), 61 m from Sanbon Station exit 3. Hours are listed as 09:00–19:00 Monday–Friday and 09:00–14:00 Saturday, so weekday evening appointments may be an option. Lunch hours were not provided, so ask before visiting. The phone number is 031-348-8275. Reviews describe different experiences with waiting and guidance, so it is worth confirming the booking and check-in process and the expected wait time in advance. Parking information is not in the collected data. Whether the clinic performs LASIK, what the pre-surgery tests include, and whether the exam fee is included are also not confirmed in the data, so ask separately before a consultation. For reference, 2026 market rates are roughly 1,000,000–1,800,000 KRW for standard bilateral LASIK and 1,500,000–2,500,000 KRW for wavefront or custom LASIK. These figures are not this clinic's prices.
서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic)
서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic) recorded 2,600 Naver reviews and 381 blog reviews. The only rating provided is Google 4.8, and the Kakao and Google review counts are each listed as 0. A Naver rating and the HIRA count of ophthalmology specialists could not be confirmed. Reviews repeatedly mention Sunday hours and friendly staff, but these are visitor opinions and should be kept separate from any assessment of LASIK.
"I visited urgently on a weekend because of my child's allergies and was treated kindly. It was convenient to be able to get care on a weekend." (Naver review, October 25, 2026)
"I had a routine eye checkup on Sunday. Everyone from the test center to the front desk and the doctor was kind, so it was a pleasant visit." (Naver review, October 25, 2026)
The location data provided places it 234 m from Beomgye Station exit 7, and the address appears in the collected data only as "서울수안과의원," so the exact street address could not be confirmed. Hours are 09:00–13:00 Sunday, 09:00–18:00 Monday–Thursday, 09:00–20:00 Friday, and 09:00–16:00 Saturday. Friday evening hours and Sunday hours are listed, and lunch hours are not separately noted. The phone number is 0507-1489-7021. Listed amenities include reservations, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms. Confirm the booking method and parking conditions before you visit. Weekend visits in reviews do not mean LASIK exams or surgery are available on weekends. Whether the clinic performs LASIK, how exam appointments work, costs, and surgery scheduling must all be asked directly.
태안과의원 (Tae Eye Clinic)
태안과의원 (Tae Eye Clinic) had 1,327 Naver reviews, 849 blog reviews, 140 Kakao reviews, and 0 Google reviews collected. Its Kakao rating is 2.7 and its Google rating is 2.8, while no Naver rating was provided. HIRA records list 4 ophthalmology specialists, the department as ophthalmology, and 1 ultrasound imaging device. Reviews mention detailed explanations and kind service, along with comments that crowds can mean long waits.
"Every time I visit, they are kind and explain things in detail, so I keep going back comfortably." (Naver review, October 22, 2026)
"I've been going to this clinic for almost 20 years. They are always kind and good. However, it has become busier lately and the waits are long." (Naver review, October 20, 2026)
The address is 경기 안양시 동안구 평촌대로223번길 64 제일상가 305호 (Room 305, Jeil Shopping Center, 64 Pyeongchon-daero 223beon-gil, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do), 60 m from Beomgye Station exit 1. Hours are 09:00–18:00 Monday–Friday and 09:00–16:00 Saturday, with no evening hours on the provided schedule. Lunch hours are not listed, so check before visiting. The phone number is 031-384-7878. Reservations, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed as amenities, but specific booking methods and parking conditions require a separate inquiry. Whether the clinic performs LASIK is not stated in the provided data. The HIRA registration of 4 ophthalmology specialists is staffing data, not a measure of LASIK surgeons or surgical experience. When you consult, ask about pre-surgery testing, how suitability is determined, and the total cost.

LASIK Clinic Checklist
- Whether the clinic performs LASIK — First confirm that the clinic currently offers LASIK consultations and surgery.
- Tests and how results are explained — Ask which tests are performed and how the results are explained to you.
- Determining suitability — Check whether the clinic explains which procedures are possible, and why some are not, based on your individual test results.
- Who performs the surgery — Confirm whether the surgeon and the person you consult with are the same, and whether you can be told in advance who will handle your case.
- Total cost — Confirm what is included beyond the surgery fee, such as exam and medication costs, and compare on a both-eyes basis.
- Conditions for extra charges — Ask whether choosing a custom procedure or having additional tests adds cost.
- Follow-up schedule — Confirm the post-surgery check-up schedule and how follow-up visits are arranged.
- Booking and wait times — Check in advance how consultations and tests are booked and how long they are expected to take.
- Hours and access — Check whether evening or weekend hours and transport and parking conditions fit your schedule.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Insufficient explanation of test results and surgical risks — If it is hard to get answers to your questions, ask for the explanation again and make sure you understand it fully before deciding.
- No total cost or list of inclusions — Confirm whether the exam fee is separate and what conditions trigger extra costs, either in writing or in a clear statement.
- Promising a procedure or outcome before individual testing — Suitability must be confirmed through your own tests and a consultation with the medical team.
- Pressure to decide quickly or reluctance to take questions — Give yourself time to compare and ask questions. Don't judge on review scores alone; look at what happens during the consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Anyang LASIK clinics should I compare first?
You can start by checking hours and consultation availability at 삼성안과의원 (Samsung Eye Clinic) and 서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic), which have the largest Naver review counts. However, review counts or ratings alone cannot tell you about LASIK suitability or outcomes. Ask each clinic directly whether it performs LASIK and what its testing process involves.
Can I compare Naver ratings for the four clinics?
No. The collected data includes Naver review counts but no Naver ratings. We did not estimate ratings, and the table shows only the Google and Kakao scores that were confirmed.
How much does LASIK cost in 2026?
The reference market rates provided are 1,000,000–1,800,000 KRW for standard bilateral LASIK and 1,500,000–2,500,000 KRW for wavefront or custom LASIK. Actual prices at each clinic were not confirmed. Some clinics include the exam fee and others charge it separately, so compare on a total-cost basis.
Can I get an English-speaking consultation, and how do I check?
The data collected for this article does not include language-support information, and we cannot confirm that any of the four clinics has English-speaking staff or an interpreter — this has to be checked with each clinic. Call the numbers listed above (for example, 031-426-3030 for 삼성밝은안과의원 (Samsung Balgeun Eye Clinic)) or use the clinic's booking page, and ask directly whether an English-speaking doctor or interpreter will be available on the day and time you want and whether this can be arranged in advance. Bringing your passport or ARC, a medication list, and previous eye records will help.
Does a clinic with more reviews perform better LASIK?
That cannot be assumed. Review counts only show the volume of collected visitor feedback; they do not indicate LASIK surgery volume or outcomes. Confirm separately whether the clinic performs surgery and what your individual testing and consultation involve.
Can I get LASIK testing on a weekend or in the evening?
서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic) lists Sunday 09:00–13:00 and Friday 09:00–20:00 hours, and 삼성안과의원 (Samsung Eye Clinic) is open until 19:00 on weekdays. The data does not say whether these hours also apply to LASIK testing or surgery, so confirm before booking.
Final Thoughts
By review volume, 삼성안과의원 (Samsung Eye Clinic) and 서울수안과의원 (Seoulsu Eye Clinic) stand out, and among published ratings 서울수안과의원 has Google 4.8 while 태안과의원 (Tae Eye Clinic) has Kakao 2.7 and Google 2.8. But ratings and reviews are individual experiences and do not guarantee the effectiveness or safety of LASIK. Confirm whether surgery is available, what testing and explanations you will receive, the total cost, and follow-up care, then choose the clinic that fits you. If you need an English-speaking consultation, call ahead and ask what can be arranged before you book. This article summarizes the provided data and does not replace diagnosis or treatment.
