Key Takeaways
If you are visiting from abroad, plan on confirming language support yourself: the source data for all five clinics below contains no information about English-speaking staff, and support varies by clinic, so it has to be confirmed by phone or on the clinic's own booking page before you go. Booking is usually by phone, and each clinic's number is listed in its section. Bring a list of the eye drops and medications you currently use, your ID and payment method, and tell staff clearly whether you are coming for dry eye symptoms or for a vision-correction consultation.
Adding up the Naver and Kakao reviews collected, 밝은성모안과의원 has 3,660 and 지에스안과의원 has 4,985, so these two have relatively high review counts. These figures are sums of reviews from different platforms, however, and no de-duplication of repeat visits has been applied. The average Kakao Map rating for the five selected clinics was given as 4.4, but individual Kakao ratings are confirmed only for 밝은성모안과의원 and 삼성미라클안과의원, at 4.4 each.
The important point is that the supplied data alone cannot confirm that any of the five clinics specialises in dry eye or offers any particular test or treatment. Use reviews and facility information as reference material when choosing a clinic, and ask the clinic directly about dry eye care and about which tests and treatments are available before you visit.
How We Analysed the Data
This is based on 7,352 Naver Place visitor reviews and 6,577 Kakao Map reviews, 13,929 in total. The average Kakao Map rating across the five selected clinics is 4.4. Per-clinic review counts add the supplied Naver and Kakao figures together; blog reviews were excluded from the totals because they differ in nature from visitor reviews. For Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) registration data, only the supplied ophthalmologist counts and specialties were used. Individual Naver ratings were not in the data and are therefore not shown, and where a rating or specialist count was not supplied it is marked "no data". Quotes are taken from the actual visitor reviews supplied, with emoji and decorative characters removed.
Clinic-by-Clinic Details
밝은성모안과의원 (Balgeun Seongmo Eye Clinic)
밝은성모안과의원 has 2,621 Naver reviews and 1,039 Kakao reviews, 3,660 combined. Its Kakao rating is 4.4 and its Google rating was given as 4.9. The HIRA data lists 7 ophthalmologists, ophthalmology as the specialty, and 2 ultrasound imaging devices. Being able to confirm both review volume and specialist numbers is worth noting when comparing, but this data alone cannot tell you about the standard of dry eye care or about treatment outcomes.
"Booked a check-up for presbyopia and cataracts and was seen right away with no wait. The staff were kind and the tests were quick. They also explained everything slowly and clearly." (3 November 2026, Naver review)
"I was seen quickly and well. Everyone was kind." (30 October 2026, Naver review)
The address is 서울 강남구 테헤란로 110 캠브리지빌딩 3층·16층·17층(접수)·18층, 69 m from Gangnam Station Exit 1. The supplied hours are Mon, Tue and Thu 10:00–18:00, Fri 10:00–19:00, and Sat 09:00–15:00. Friday runs latest of the schedules provided, and lunch hours and Wednesday or Sunday opening are not in the data. The phone number is 02-2202-1515. Reservations and parking are listed among the amenities, but how to use them and what they cost need confirming. Before visiting, ask whether dry eye care and testing are available, which floor to check in on, and whether a reservation is required, and if you can, tell them when the dryness is worst and bring a list of any eye drops you are using. No dry-eye-specific service information is confirmed in the supplied data.
지에스안과의원 (JS Eye Clinic)
지에스안과의원 has 1,522 Naver reviews and 3,463 Kakao reviews, 4,985 combined. The supplied data lists a Google rating of 4.9, but an individual Kakao rating and a HIRA ophthalmologist count could not be confirmed. Visitor reviews include comments on testing, explanations, and staff manner. These show one person's experience; they do not guarantee what every patient will experience, nor are they grounds for judging dry eye outcomes.
"My eyes kept feeling tired so I came in, and the staff really were kind. They ran the tests thoroughly and explained the results clearly, which put me at ease." (13 October 2026, Naver review)
"My eye strain got worse, so I found the clinic in a search and visited; the director explained things calmly and in detail, which was good." (8 October 2026, Naver review)
The address is 서울 강남구 강남대로 390 8층·15층·16층, 27 m from Gangnam Station Exit 1. Hours are Mon–Fri 10:00–18:30 and Sat 09:30–17:00. Weekday evening hours run until 18:30; lunch hours and Sunday opening are not in the data. The phone number is 02-3469-0900. Reservations, parking, and valet parking are listed as amenities, but costs and conditions need separate confirmation. One review contains a personal opinion about discount and additional-cost guidance during consultation, so when you ask about procedure or test costs it is worth confirming the conditions and any extra charges directly. No dry-eye-specific service information is in the supplied data.
라움스마일안과의원 (Raum Smile Eye Clinic)
라움스마일안과의원 has 518 Naver reviews and 160 Kakao reviews, 678 combined. Its Google rating was given as 4.6, while a Kakao rating and a HIRA ophthalmologist count are not in the data. One visitor review mentions dry, frequently bloodshot eyes prompting a check-up, but this cannot be interpreted as evidence of dry-eye specialty care or of treatment volume. The consultation experiences visible in reviews are individual opinions, so confirm the scope of care and the test menu separately when choosing a clinic.
"My vision seems to be getting worse and my eyes are very dry and often bloodshot, so I think getting checked like this is a good thing." (2 November 2026, Naver review)
"It was my first visit and the nurses explained everything kindly, from reception through the tests. The director also went through the test results step by step and was so kind about treatment options and follow-up." (2 November 2026, Naver review)
The address is 서울 강남구 테헤란로4길 5 3층, 139 m from Gangnam Station Exit 1. Hours are Mon–Thu 09:30–18:30, Fri 09:30–19:00, and Sat 09:00–15:30. Friday runs until 19:00, and lunch hours and Sunday opening are not in the data. The phone number is 0507-1412-3222. Reservations, parking, a waiting area, and child seats were supplied as amenities, but ask about parking conditions before you visit. If you want to discuss dryness or redness, it is practical to first confirm whether the clinic treats dry eye, whether testing is available, and whether a test appointment is needed. The supplied data contains no dry-eye-specific testing or treatment information.
삼성미라클안과의원 강남점 (Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic, Gangnam Branch)
삼성미라클안과의원 강남점 has 1,251 Naver reviews and 1,406 Kakao reviews, 2,657 combined. Its Kakao rating is 4.4 and its Google rating was given as 5.0. The HIRA registration data lists 2 ophthalmologists, ophthalmology as the specialty, and 1 ultrasound imaging device. The reviews describe experiences with testing and guidance, but they relate mainly to vision correction, so they should be read as distinct from any material evaluating dry eye care.
"They guided me so kindly, which was great. They also recommended a procedure suited to my eyes and explained it in detail." (3 November 2026, Naver review)
"Thorough testing and kind guidance meant I could have the procedure with confidence. There were many different pre-procedure tests and they were done carefully, so I could understand my eye condition precisely, and they explained the results and the procedure in a way that was easy to follow." (30 October 2026, Naver review)
The address is 서울 강남구 테헤란로 115 7층·14층, 140 m from Gangnam Station Exit 12. Hours are Mon–Wed 09:30–18:30, Fri 09:30–19:30, and Sat 09:00–16:00. In the supplied schedule Friday runs latest, and lunch hours and Thursday or Sunday opening are not in the data. The phone number is 0507-1491-7837. Reservations, parking, and valet parking are listed as available amenities, but parking costs and how it operates need confirming. Ask before visiting whether dry eye care is available and what the booking procedure is, and make clear whether your purpose is dryness symptoms or a vision-correction consultation. No dry-eye-specific service information is confirmed in the supplied data.
에스앤유안과의원 (S&U Eye Clinic)
에스앤유안과의원 has 1,440 Naver reviews and 509 Kakao reviews, 1,949 combined. Its Google rating was given as 4.8, and an individual Kakao rating and a HIRA ophthalmologist count are not in the data. The reviews include experiences with testing and explanations as well as vision correction and cataract care. These are individual experiences, however, and are not information that directly demonstrates expertise or outcomes in dry eye care.
"Walked in without a reservation and was seen right away with no wait. The tests were done really thoroughly, and all the staff were kind, which was great." (16 October 2026, Naver review)
"Thank you to Director 이민규, who was so kind and thorough. The other staff were kind too." (23 October 2026, Naver review)
The address is 서울 강남구 강남대로 624 ICT타워 3층·12층, 87 m from Sinsa Station Exit 6. Hours are Mon, Tue, Thu and Fri 09:00–18:00, and Sat 08:30–14:00. Saturday hours start at 08:30, and lunch hours and Wednesday or Sunday opening are not in the data. The phone number is 02-548-0201. Reservations and parking are listed among the amenities, but check the parking conditions in advance. If you want dry eye care, it is best to state your symptoms and the purpose of the visit when booking and to ask whether that care and the related tests are available. The supplied data contains no dry-eye-specific information.
At a Glance
Total reviews add the Naver and Kakao review counts together. Platforms where no individual rating was supplied are marked "no data". Naver ratings were not in the collected data.
| Clinic | Naver rating | Kakao rating | Google rating | Total reviews | Ophthalmologists | Location | What the data confirms |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 밝은성모안과의원 | No data | 4.4 | 4.9 | 3,660 | 7 | 69 m from Gangnam Station Exit 1 | Highest combined Naver and Kakao review count. Reservations and parking listed as amenities |
| 지에스안과의원 | No data | No data | 4.9 | 4,985 | No data | 27 m from Gangnam Station Exit 1 | Highest combined Naver and Kakao review count. Parking and valet parking listed |
| 라움스마일안과의원 | No data | No data | 4.6 | 678 | No data | 139 m from Gangnam Station Exit 1 | One review mentions dryness and redness. Reservations and parking listed |
| 삼성미라클안과의원 강남점 | No data | 4.4 | 5.0 | 2,657 | 2 | 140 m from Gangnam Station Exit 12 | HIRA data lists 2 ophthalmologists |
| 에스앤유안과의원 | No data | No data | 4.8 | 1,949 | No data | 87 m from Sinsa Station Exit 6 | Reservations and parking listed. Saturday hours start at 08:30 |
Ratings are hard to compare directly because each platform counts reviews differently and review volumes differ. Even where a Google rating was supplied, the Google review count is listed as 0 for all five clinics, so care is needed when reading ratings together with review counts.
Checklist for Choosing a Dry Eye Clinic
- Whether they treat dry eye — confirm before booking that the clinic offers care and consultations for this symptom.
- Whether testing is available — ask which tests you can have and whether a test appointment is required. The data in this article does not establish any clinic's test menu.
- Symptom notes — note the times of day when dryness is worst, and any accompanying symptoms such as redness or a gritty feeling, and pass these on.
- Existing care and products — if you currently use eye drops or other eye-related products, tell the medical staff during the consultation.
- Purpose of the visit — state clearly whether you are there for a dry eye consultation or a vision-correction consultation, or both.
- Opening hours — confirm each clinic's lunch hours and opening on the days missing from the data by phone.
- Booking procedure — check whether reservations are possible, whether walk-ins are accepted, and what preparation is needed.
- Costs and extras — ask before visiting about test and consultation fees and whether additional charges may apply.
- Parking conditions — check whether parking and valet parking are available, what they cost, and any conditions that apply.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Rather than singling out any particular clinic, if you encounter the following during a consultation, ask enough questions and make sure the explanation is clear.
- Being rushed into a decision without an explanation — you should be able to ask why a test or treatment is being recommended, what the alternatives are, and get an answer.
- Unclear costs and conditions — confirm test and treatment fees, any additional charges, and the conditions attached to discounts in specific terms.
- Answers that fall short — ask for the explanation again until you understand the purpose of the visit and the expected procedure.
- Reviews or ratings presented as a guarantee of results — reviews are individual experiences; what you need should be decided in consultation with the medical staff.
Frequently Asked Questions
When choosing a dry eye clinic in Gangnam-gu, what should I check first?
The supplied data cannot identify a clinic that specialises in dry eye care. First confirm directly that the clinic you are considering offers dry eye care and the related tests, then compare location, hours, booking, and costs.
Which clinic has the most reviews?
On combined Naver and Kakao review counts, 지에스안과의원 has 4,985 and 밝은성모안과의원 has 3,660. These are not de-duplicated across platforms, and review volume does not guarantee suitability or outcomes.
Is there a clinic with reviews that mention dry eye?
Among the supplied reviews, one for 라움스마일안과의원 mentions dryness and frequent redness. That is a single visitor's experience and does not establish that the clinic specialises in dry eye care.
How many ophthalmologists are confirmed at each clinic?
HIRA data confirms 7 ophthalmologists at 밝은성모안과의원 and 2 at 삼성미라클안과의원 강남점. No specialist counts are available in the supplied data for 지에스안과의원, 라움스마일안과의원, or 에스앤유안과의원.
Should I just choose the clinic with the highest rating?
Ratings are only one reference point. Review volumes and counting methods differ by platform, and the Google review count is listed as 0 for all of them. Check dry eye availability, what the consultation covers, location, and hours as well.
Do any of these clinics have English-speaking staff?
The supplied data contains no information about language support at any of the five clinics, so this article cannot confirm English-speaking staff, interpreters, or an international patient desk at any of them. Check directly by phone or on the clinic's own booking page — 밝은성모안과의원 02-2202-1515, 지에스안과의원 02-3469-0900, 라움스마일안과의원 0507-1412-3222, 삼성미라클안과의원 강남점 0507-1491-7837, 에스앤유안과의원 02-548-0201 — and ask whether an English-speaking doctor or coordinator will be available on the day you plan to visit.
Final Thoughts
In the collected data, the highest combined Naver and Kakao review count is 지에스안과의원 with 4,985, while 밝은성모안과의원 has 3,660 and 7 ophthalmologists registered with HIRA. Review counts and ratings alone cannot settle which clinic is right for dry eye care, however, and the supplied data does not confirm dry-eye-specific services at any of the five. Ask the clinic directly about care and testing, booking, costs, and parking before you visit.
This article compares supplied reviews and registration data; it is not medical diagnosis or treatment advice. Confirm your individual symptoms and care needs with a medical professional.
