Key takeaways
For foreign residents and medical tourists, the most useful thing to know before visiting an eye clinic in Anyang is that language support varies by clinic and cannot be assumed: the data behind this article does not record whether any of these five clinics has English-speaking staff, so it has to be confirmed by phone or on the clinic's booking page. When you call, ask whether an English-speaking doctor or coordinator will be on duty at the time you plan to visit, and bring your ID (ARC or passport), a payment card, and any previous eye records or prescriptions.
When you are comparing Smile LASIK clinics in Anyang, review counts alone make it hard to judge whether you are a suitable candidate or what your outcome will be. In the data provided, 서울수안과의원 (Seoul Su Eye Clinic) has the highest Naver review count at 2,608, and on Kakao the ratings are 4.1 for Seoul Su Eye Clinic and 3.9 for 밝음나눔안과의원 안양 (Balgeun Nanum Eye Clinic Anyang). However, whether either clinic performs Smile LASIK, what equipment it uses, and how much surgical experience the operating doctor has are not in the collected data — you have to ask directly. Based on the data summary, the average Kakao Map rating across the five clinics is 3.6.
So if you are searching for "eye clinic recommendations in Anyang", treat review counts and ratings as background information, and use the consultation to confirm whether the procedure is offered, whether your test results make you a suitable candidate, the cost, and the follow-up plan. The comparison below is based on the collected data; it is not a ranking and does not guarantee surgical skill or outcomes.
How we analyzed
We compared five clinics using 9,290 Naver Place visitor reviews, 997 Kakao Map reviews and registration data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA). Blog and Google review counts and ratings are also shown where they were provided. Each clinic's review total is the sum of the Naver, blog, Kakao Map and Google review counts supplied, and we did not verify whether reviews were duplicated. Naver ratings and HIRA-registered ophthalmologist counts were not in the source data, so they are marked "Not available". Public reviews describe individual visits and do not indicate the quality of care or surgical results.
밝음나눔안과의원 안양 (Balgeun Nanum Eye Clinic Anyang)
It has 1,568 Naver reviews, 620 blog reviews and 521 Kakao Map reviews, for a provided review total of 2,709. Its Kakao rating is 3.9 and its Google rating is 4.5; no Naver rating was provided. The HIRA-registered ophthalmologist count is not in the data. Use the ratings and review counts as background on what visits were like, and ask the clinic separately whether it provides Smile LASIK.
"They explained everything kindly and in detail, which I liked. They have a lot of equipment and it is up to date." (flysheep11, October 24, 2026)
"Clean, parking is available, and the staff were kind. I had my tests done and was on my way." (봄3924, October 20, 2026)
The address is 경기 안양시 만안구 안양로 307 금상타워 7·8층 (Geumsang Tower, 7th–8th floors, 307 Anyang-ro, Manan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do), 365 m from Exit 1 of Anyang Station (안양역). Hours are Monday to Friday 09:00–19:00 and Saturday 09:00–15:30. Sunday hours and lunch break were not provided, so check before you visit. The phone number is 031-360-7542, and reservations, parking, Wi-Fi and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed. It is best to confirm parking availability and conditions when you book.
Ask first whether Smile LASIK is available, whether the tests and the consultation can be done on the same day, and what the post-surgery follow-up schedule looks like. The reviews provided are about explanations, friendliness and the testing experience; they are not Smile LASIK outcome reports or surgical volume data. For cost reference, the 2026 market rate given for both eyes is 2.5–4 million KRW, but this clinic's actual price is not confirmed. Costs can differ with equipment and the surgeon's experience, so check the total and what it includes at the consultation.
서울수안과의원 (Seoul Su Eye Clinic)
It has 2,608 Naver reviews, 381 blog reviews and 131 Kakao Map reviews, for a provided review total of 3,120. A Kakao rating of 4.1 and a Google rating of 4.8 were provided; there is no Naver rating in the data. The number of HIRA-registered ophthalmologists was not confirmed either. It has the highest Naver review count of the five, but review counts alone cannot tell you whether Smile LASIK is suitable for you or what the outcome of care will be. Confirm with the clinic whether it actually performs Smile LASIK and ask for the surgical details.
"I came to check my child's I-Dream lenses and my second child's vision. The director was very kind and all the staff were kind too." (헬로메리이, October 26, 2026)
"I've been coming since they opened because of dry eye. There is also a director who specializes in children, so my child was seen well too." (Taeun Kim, October 26, 2026)
Access is listed as 234 m from Exit 7 of Beomgye Station (범계역). The detailed lot-number and road-name address were not in the provided data, so confirm before visiting. Hours are Monday to Thursday 09:00–18:00, Friday 09:00–20:00, Saturday 09:00–16:00 and Sunday 09:00–13:00. Friday runs until 20:00, but there is no information on the lunch break. The phone number is 0507-1489-7021, and reservations, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed.
Reviews mention dry eye, pediatric care and retinal laser treatment, but none of that is evidence that Smile LASIK is offered. Asking in advance about how to book, how long the tests take, when Smile LASIK consultations are available and the parking conditions will make your visit easier to plan. The 2026 reference range for both eyes is 2.5–4 million KRW, and actual prices per clinic are not in the data. When you get a quote, also check whether the testing fee and follow-up visits are included.
태안과의원 (Tae Eye Clinic)
With 1,327 Naver reviews, 852 blog reviews and 140 Kakao Map reviews, the provided review total is 2,319. Its Kakao rating is 2.7 and its Google rating is 2.8; no Naver rating was provided. The HIRA ophthalmologist count is not in the data. Ratings vary by platform and by when they were written, so do not treat them as a verdict on the whole experience — look at specific recent reviews alongside your own consultation. Whether Smile LASIK is performed should also be confirmed in advance.
"They are kind every time I visit and explain things in detail, so I keep coming back without thinking twice." (백보다더16, October 22, 2026)
"For various eye conditions and dry eye, the wait after booking was under 10 minutes. The care was good, with accurate explanations and kind answers to my questions." (mis****, October 17, 2026)
The address is 경기 안양시 동안구 평촌대로223번길 64 제일상가 305호 (Jeil Shopping Center, Unit 305, 64 Pyeongchon-daero 223beon-gil, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do), 60 m from Exit 1 of Beomgye Station. Hours are Monday to Friday 09:00–18:00 and Saturday 09:00–16:00. Sunday hours and the lunch break are not in the data. The phone number is 031-384-7878, and reservations, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed. Some reviews mention long waits, so it is worth checking whether booking is possible and how long the wait is expected to be.
Visitor reviews cover pediatric and adolescent vision care, dry eye treatment and how well things were explained. These should be kept separate from Smile LASIK information. If you want a Smile LASIK consultation, first ask whether the procedure is performed, what the pre-operative tests involve, and what the process is from testing to the decision to operate. The 2026 reference range for both eyes is 2.5–4 million KRW, but Tae Eye Clinic's actual price is not confirmed. Equipment and surgeon experience can change the figure, so confirm the total cost at the consultation.
성모봄안과의원 (Seongmo Bom Eye Clinic)
It has 1,451 Naver reviews, 605 blog reviews, 205 Kakao Map reviews and 17 Google reviews, for a provided review total of 2,278. No ratings were provided in the data, and no HIRA-registered ophthalmologist count was confirmed either. Rather than comparing ratings, you can refer to what the reviews say, the opening hours and the location. Visitor reviews mention Dream Lens (ortho-k) care, general treatment, explanations and the facilities, but nothing there confirms Smile LASIK outcomes or whether the procedure is offered.
"After booking for a general check-up I was seen straight away with no wait. I came for a stye and allergies, and I'm grateful they explained everything in detail." (최토리63, October 26, 2026)
"I came for my child's Dream Lenses and had a dry eye test myself as well. The staff were kind and the diagnosis was accurate." (연자29, October 24, 2026)
The address is 경기 안양시 동안구 시민대로 214 4층 405호 (Unit 405, 4th floor, 214 Simin-daero, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do), 404 m from Exit 1 of Beomgye Station. Hours are Monday to Wednesday 09:00–18:00, Thursday 09:00–14:00, Friday 09:00–19:00, Saturday 09:00–14:00 and Sunday 09:00–13:00. Thursday afternoon is closed from 14:00 and Sunday is listed as morning hours; the lunch break is not in the data. The phone number is 0507-1431-7536. Facility information was not provided, so check whether booking and parking are available.
Some reviews say they booked before visiting, but the exact booking process and waiting time can vary by schedule. Ask whether Smile LASIK is performed, when consultations are available, and what the visit plan looks like around testing and surgery. The 2026 reference range for both eyes is 2.5–4 million KRW, and this clinic's actual cost and equipment information are not in the provided data. The absence of a flap is presented as a main reason to choose Smile LASIK, but whether it suits you personally has to be confirmed through testing and a consultation with the medical staff.
서울안과의원 (Seoul Eye Clinic)
With 2,336 Naver reviews, 1,001 blog reviews and 90 Google reviews, the provided review total is 3,427. Kakao reviews were given as 0, and there are no Kakao, Google or Naver ratings in the data. The number of HIRA-registered ophthalmologists was not confirmed either. It has the largest review total of the five provided, but some visitor reviews complain about waiting and how they were treated, while others thank the clinic for its follow-up after surgery. Because the experiences differ, it is worth checking how the clinic runs before you visit.
"My mother had surgery and called several times about documents; they answered kindly and even spoke to the insurance company on her behalf." (삘이요, September 9, 2026)
"They make you wait too long. People who registered and went out went in ahead of me, and it took over two hours." (Ejdursbk, September 19, 2026)
The detailed address and public transport access were not in the provided data. The phone number is 0507-1331-1010, and hours are Monday to Friday 09:30–18:00 and Saturday 09:30–16:00. Sunday hours and the lunch break were not confirmed either. Calling ahead about how to book, whether you can step out after registering, the expected wait and parking conditions will help you plan around the queue. The website is http://www.seouleyecenter.co.kr/.
Whether Smile LASIK is performed, the testing equipment, the surgeon's experience and the follow-up schedule cannot be confirmed from the collected data. Ask about these directly before the consultation, and check whether the price you are quoted includes testing, medication and later visits. The 2026 reference figure for both eyes is 2.5–4 million KRW, and actual clinic prices need separate confirmation. Reviews are individual experiences and cannot be assumed to apply to every visit.

Smile LASIK clinic checklist
- Whether Smile LASIK is performed — confirm with the clinic before your visit that the procedure is currently offered.
- Suitability after testing — discuss, based on your own test results, which procedures are possible and what the alternatives are.
- Surgical equipment — ask which equipment is used and how it affects the cost. Equipment information for specific clinics is not in the data.
- Surgeon's experience — ask directly during the consultation who will perform the procedure and what their relevant experience is. The collected data has no per-doctor information.
- Total cost — the 2026 reference range for both eyes is 2.5–4 million KRW. Check whether testing, medication and later visits are included.
- Follow-up plan — confirm the post-surgery visit schedule and how to get in touch with questions in advance.
- Side effects and precautions — have the possible risks and recovery precautions explained, not just the expected benefits.
- Booking and waiting — check whether booking is required, how long testing takes, and whether you can step out after registering.
- Transport and parking — confirm the distance from the station exit and parking availability and conditions with the clinic.
Warning signs
- Rushing you toward surgery without properly explaining the test results, or recommending surgery without checking whether it suits you individually
- Not clearly explaining the total cost, what it includes, and the possibility of extra charges
- Not answering clearly when you ask about the equipment, the doctor performing the surgery, or the follow-up plan
- Emphasizing benefits or results while not explaining the possible risks and post-surgery precautions
These are general points to check during a consultation, and they do not mean that any particular clinic does these things.
Frequently asked questions
How should I choose a Smile LASIK clinic in Anyang?
The provided data alone cannot compare the surgical skill or outcomes of specific clinics. Use reviews and location as references, but decide after confirming directly whether the procedure is performed, whether your test results make you suitable, the equipment, the cost and the follow-up plan.
Do all five clinics in this data perform Smile LASIK?
The collected data does not say whether each clinic performs Smile LASIK. You need to ask the clinic directly before visiting.
How much does Smile LASIK cost?
The 2026 reference information provided is 2.5–4 million KRW for both eyes. It can vary with equipment and the surgeon's experience, and each clinic's actual price is not in the data. Check what is included, such as testing and follow-up care.
Is there an English-speaking clinic in Anyang, and how do I check?
The data collected for this article does not include language support, so we cannot say that any of the five clinics has English-speaking staff, or Japanese, Chinese or Thai speakers — you have to confirm it yourself. Call the clinic or check its booking page, ask whether an English-speaking doctor or coordinator will be available at the time you want to visit, and ask whether interpretation can be arranged by phone. If nothing can be confirmed, plan to bring a Korean-speaking companion or a translation app, since paperwork may be in Korean.
If a clinic has many reviews and a high rating, does that mean better surgical results?
No. Reviews are experiences written by visitors and do not guarantee surgical results or quality of care. This data set does not include Smile LASIK outcomes for any of the clinics.
Can I find out about lunch breaks and parking?
The provided data does not state lunch breaks. Some clinics list parking facilities, but the conditions of use were not confirmed, so call before you visit.
Final thoughts
When you are looking for a Smile LASIK clinic in Anyang, use review counts, ratings and transport as references, but do not read them as a ranking of surgical skill. In this data, Seoul Su Eye Clinic has 2,608 Naver reviews and Balgeun Nanum Eye Clinic Anyang has a Kakao rating of 3.9, but for all five clinics, including those two, whether Smile LASIK is performed and other surgical details were not confirmed. None of the five is confirmed in this data as an English-speaking clinic in Anyang, so ask about language support when you call, and book tests and a consultation before deciding.
This article summarizes the reviews, clinic information and reference prices provided, and is not a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation. Whether the procedure is possible for you and your treatment decisions should be confirmed through examination and consultation with medical staff. Last updated: 2026-10-26.
