Key Takeaways
Based on the collected data alone, the first clinics to check when looking for glaucoma care in Namyangju (남양주) are 삼성밝은안과의원 (Samseong Balgeun Eye Clinic) and 다산수안과의원 (Dasan Su Eye Clinic). Samseong Balgeun Eye Clinic has the highest rating of the five on Kakao Map at 4.1, with 361 reviews, while Dasan Su Eye Clinic has 3.0 on Kakao Map with 305 reviews — a large review base — plus Sunday hours that make it easier to fit into a schedule. On the other hand, the average Kakao Map rating across the five clinics is only 2.9, so it is worth checking how widely patient experiences vary before you choose.
Glaucoma depends on regular follow-up and continuity of testing, so rather than ratings alone, it is more realistic to weigh opening hours, location, how thoroughly things are explained, and how convenient repeat visits will be.
If you are a foreign patient: language support varies by clinic in Namyangju, and nothing in the data collected here confirms on-site English, Japanese, Chinese, or Thai interpretation, so it must be confirmed by phone or through the clinic's own booking page. Ask whether a consultation can be handled in your language, how to book, and what to bring — your passport or ARC, previous eye test results, and a list of current eye drops or prescriptions. If you specifically need an English-speaking clinic in Namyangju, call during business hours before you travel.
How We Compared
This comparison draws on 0 Naver Place visitor reviews, 700 Kakao Map reviews, Google reviews, and registration information from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA). None of the clinics had visitor reviews on Naver Place, and the number of ophthalmology specialists was listed as not available for every clinic in the HIRA data, so that item is reported exactly as found.
Because each platform compiles ratings differently, this article focuses on Kakao Map review counts and ratings. The average Kakao Map rating of the five selected clinics is 2.9, and review counts range from 16 to 361 per clinic. Every clinic detail below comes only from the data that was actually collected.
삼성밝은안과의원 (Samseong Balgeun Eye Clinic)
Why it stands out: a Kakao Map rating of 4.1 with 361 reviews — the highest rating of the five and one of the largest review volumes, which makes it the most visible option on both measures. According to HIRA data, the number of ophthalmology specialists is not available. In the reviews collected, friendliness, fast service, and satisfaction with the facilities were mentioned repeatedly.
I have been coming here since the new town was first built. The head doctor is so kind, and he treated my stye with such care; now I come here for my regular eye check-ups. Wishing the clinic continued success.
My high school son was hit square in the eye by a badminton shuttlecock, and after going from clinic to clinic we found this one — it feels like a university hospital. I keep thinking we should have come here from the start; from now on, this is the place I recommend for anything eye-related. It is spacious and clean, and every member of staff explains things kindly and well.

Opening hours: Thu 09:30 - 18:30, Fri 09:30 - 19:30, Sat 09:30 - 14:00, Sun 09:30 - 14:00, Mon 09:30 - 18:30, Tue 09:30 - 18:30, Wed 09:30 - 18:30. Evening hours on Friday run until 19:30, and weekend hours are confirmed for Saturday and Sunday morning. No lunch-break information was in the collected data, so none is listed.
What to check before you go: the safest approach is to call 031-8074-9393 and confirm whether same-day treatment is available. A website and blog link were collected, so basic information can be checked there. No amenity information was available.
Practical tip: for something like glaucoma that needs repeated management, ask about the testing workflow and the recommended follow-up interval on your first visit. Reviewers describe the explanations here as comparatively thorough, which is a plus.
Glaucoma-specific details: the collected data does not list glaucoma tests or equipment. Still, its rating and review volume are the most prominent of the five, making it a reasonable first place to look if you want a clinic you can keep going back to.
다산수안과의원 (Dasan Su Eye Clinic)
Why it stands out: 3.0 on Kakao Map with 305 reviews — the second-largest review volume after Samseong Balgeun Eye Clinic, which makes it useful for comparing real patient experiences — and a Google rating of 5. Per HIRA data, the number of ophthalmology specialists is not available. Reviews frequently mention friendliness, clear explanations, and Sunday hours.
The doctor is so kind and the front-desk staff give great guidance. It is a place that opens on Sundays, so I tried it for the first time, and I plan to keep coming here.
I visited for dry eye. The tests were thorough and the explanations were detailed, which I appreciated. They also told me how to care for my eyes according to their condition and treated me kindly, so I was satisfied.
Location and access: 경기 남양주시 도농로 24 상가동 2층 사랑관 218호 (218 Saranggwan, 2nd floor, shopping wing, 24 Donong-ro, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do), 520m from Donong Station (Gyeongui-Jungang Line) Exit 1.
Opening hours: Thu 09:30 - 18:30, Fri 09:30 - 18:30, Sun 09:00 - 14:00, Tue 09:30 - 18:30. Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday hours were not in the collected data. No lunch-break information either.
What to check before you go: call 031-567-0675 to reconfirm which days it is open. Sunday hours are confirmed in the data, but not every weekday's hours were published, so it is best to ask first about reservations or same-day walk-in availability. Website, blog, and Instagram links were collected.
Practical tip: a good candidate if you need Sunday care or if getting to and from Donong Station easily matters to you. Reviewers also describe the self-care instructions as detailed, which reads as an advantage.
Glaucoma-specific details: the data contains no direct equipment information, but reviews mention thorough testing, so it may be worth a look for patients who expect ongoing follow-up care.
드림삼성안과의원 (Dream Samseong Eye Clinic)
Why it stands out: 2.9 on Kakao Map with 18 reviews. That is on the low side among the five, but its Google rating is 3.8 and its access from the subway is excellent. Per HIRA data, the number of ophthalmology specialists is not available. The reviews collected include both careful treatment and detailed explanations, and, on the other side, complaints about reception and waiting.
The doctor examines you carefully and treats you well. I was treated successfully.
I went for a vision test. It is crowded and you have to wait a long time to be seen, but the explanations are thorough and kind.
Location and access: 경기 남양주시 별내3로 340 천보프라자 306호 (306 Cheonbo Plaza, 340 Byeollae 3-ro, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do), 11m from Byeollae Byeolgaram Station Exit 3 — the closest station access of the five.
Opening hours: Thu 09:30 - 18:30, Fri 09:30 - 18:30, Sat 09:30 - 13:30, Mon 09:30 - 18:30, Tue 09:30 - 18:30, Wed 09:30 - 13:00. Sunday hours were not in the collected data, and no lunch-break information was confirmed.
What to check before you go: call 031-565-7575 to ask how busy it is that day and how long the wait is likely to be. Reviews mention long waits, so it is better to allow extra time. A website was collected, but no amenity information was available.
Practical tip: take advantage of the fact that it sits right at the station and visit on a day when public transport is convenient. Since collected reviews mention congestion at reception, having your details ready beforehand helps.
Glaucoma-specific details: nothing is listed directly, but reviews describing careful examinations and detailed explanations suggest it can be considered for an initial consultation.
삼성안과의원 (Samseong Eye Clinic)
Why it stands out: 8 Google reviews were confirmed, but the Kakao Map rating and Naver reviews are not available. The number of ophthalmology specialists in the HIRA data is also not available. The actual reviews collected split sharply between satisfaction and dissatisfaction, showing that opinions on the treatment style differ.
I visited Samseong Eye Clinic again and was able to receive treatment comfortably once more. They carried out the tests carefully and explained my current eye condition in detail in a way that was easy to understand, which put me at ease, and they answered my questions kindly.
Truly, truly, truly the worst. I went because my eyes felt irritated and uncomfortable overall, but after one look they said there was nothing there and told me to come back in two weeks.
Location and access: 경기 남양주시 별내중앙로 34 로뎀타워 402호 (402 Rodem Tower, 34 Byeollae-jungang-ro, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do), 572m from Byeollae Station (Gyeongchun Line) Exit 2.
Opening hours: Thu 09:30 - 18:10, Fri 09:30 - 18:10, Sat 09:10 - 13:00, Mon 09:30 - 18:10, Tue 09:30 - 18:10, Wed 09:30 - 18:10. Sunday hours were not in the collected data, and no lunch-break information was confirmed.
What to check before you go: call 031-566-7770 first to check the schedule and the likelihood of a wait. Reviews differed widely on how staff responded, so when you call it is worth explaining your symptoms and asking whether the tests you need can be done. A website was collected.
Practical tip: it helps to write your symptoms down briefly and specifically before you go. For a condition that needs follow-up, such as glaucoma, make sure you hear a full explanation of the test results and confirm when your next visit should be.
Glaucoma-specific details: there is no separate item in the data, but if careful testing and explanations matter to you, it is worth checking in advance whether the clinic's way of working suits you.
마석허안과의원 (Maseok Heo Eye Clinic)
Why it stands out: 1.6 on Kakao Map with 16 reviews — the rating is low — but some reviews specifically mention kind explanations and detailed surgical guidance. Its Google rating is 3.6. Per HIRA data, the number of ophthalmology specialists is not available. Among the reviews collected, stye treatment and cataract surgery explanations stand out.
It is spacious, the staff are kind, and it is clean. I went because of a stye and they gave me eye drops; after using them consistently for three days it went down a lot, and when I went back they told me to keep using them for a few more days, so I did and it cleared up completely.
We chose this clinic for my mother's cataract surgery because it was not far from home, but parking is difficult. There is a staff member — I think she may be the office manager — who wears heavy makeup and is extremely sweet and kind; she explained the surgery so clearly and in such an easy-to-understand way that my nervousness eased.
Location and access: the address in the collected data is listed as 전E만갑오개혁, so the exact street address could not be confirmed. Access is confirmed, however: 734m from Maseok Station (Gyeongchun Line) Exit 1.
Opening hours: Thu 09:00 - 18:30, Fri 09:00 - 18:30, Sat 09:00 - 15:00, Mon 09:00 - 18:30, Tue 09:00 - 18:30, Wed 09:00 - 18:30. Sunday hours were not in the collected data, and no lunch-break information was confirmed.
What to check before you go: call 031-594-8275 to reconfirm the exact location and whether parking is available. Appointments and parking are listed under amenities, but actual parking conditions are worth double-checking before you visit.
Practical tip: worth noting if detailed surgical guidance and thorough explanations matter to you, but the Kakao Map rating is on the low side, so check the clinic's current hours and operations before going.
Glaucoma-specific details: there is no direct glaucoma testing information; in the data, the focus is on surgical explanations and general eye care experiences.

Checklist for Choosing a Glaucoma Clinic
- Testing availability — Confirm whether regular glaucoma testing and follow-up monitoring are available.
- How things are explained — See whether test results are explained in a way you can understand.
- Convenience of repeat visits — Check for weekend or evening hours and whether repeat visits are workable.
- Accessibility — Look at the distance from the nearest subway station and whether parking is available.
- Booking method — Find out whether it is appointment-only, walk-in, or open to same-day visits.
- Waiting time — Ask whether waits tend to be long and whether there are busy periods.
- Opening schedule — Check whether hours are the same each day or have exceptions.
- Surgery and treatment links — Confirm whether further tests or a treatment plan can be explained if needed.
- How inquiries are handled — When you call, see whether the guidance is clear, and whether anyone can answer you in English if that is what you need.
- Record keeping — Check whether they compare and explain results against your previous tests.
Warning Signs to Watch For
First, be cautious about clinics presented as certain winners even though they have very few reviews and little rating information. Check whether enough real experience has accumulated.
Second, if opening hours differ by day or some days are missing, call before visiting. This matters even more for something like glaucoma, where follow-up care is important.
Third, if reviews repeatedly say explanations were insufficient, it is worth checking whether the clinic suits you. With glaucoma, understanding your test results and following them over time is essential.
Fourth, if complaints about parking or waiting keep appearing, check reservation options and busy hours first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which glaucoma clinic in Namyangju should I look at first?
Based on the collected data, 삼성밝은안과의원 (Samseong Balgeun Eye Clinic) and 다산수안과의원 (Dasan Su Eye Clinic) stand out first. Samseong Balgeun Eye Clinic is the most prominent with a 4.1 Kakao Map rating and 361 reviews, while Dasan Su Eye Clinic has 305 reviews and confirmed Sunday hours.
Where should I go for a glaucoma test?
The data collected for this article does not list glaucoma test items or equipment for any of the clinics. That is why the safest approach is to call ahead and ask directly whether the tests you need are available.
Which clinic is easiest to visit on weekends?
Samseong Balgeun Eye Clinic is confirmed open Sat and Sun 09:30 - 14:00, and Dasan Su Eye Clinic Sun 09:00 - 14:00. For the other clinics, no Sunday hours were found or confirmed.
Which clinic has the best public transport access?
Dream Samseong Eye Clinic is the closest to a station, 11m from Byeollae Byeolgaram Station Exit 3. Samseong Balgeun, Dasan Su, Samseong, and Maseok Heo Eye Clinics also have station distances in the data, which helps when planning your route.
Does a large number of reviews always mean a better clinic?
No. In this data set, both ratings and review counts varied widely between clinics, and even within a single clinic there were both satisfied and dissatisfied reviews. For long-term care such as glaucoma, it is better to also look at how things are explained and how convenient repeat visits are.
Do these clinics have English-speaking staff, and how can I check before I go?
Nothing in the collected data confirms that any of these five clinics has English-speaking staff or an interpretation service, so treat that as something to verify rather than assume. Call the clinic directly during opening hours — for example, 031-8074-9393 for Samseong Balgeun Eye Clinic or 031-567-0675 for Dasan Su Eye Clinic — and ask whether a consultation can be done in English, how booking works, how long waits tend to be, and whether the glaucoma tests you need are available. If you need an English-speaking clinic in Namyangju specifically, confirming this before you travel will save you a wasted trip.
Final Thoughts
In short, when looking for a glaucoma clinic in Namyangju, 삼성밝은안과의원 (Samseong Balgeun Eye Clinic) is the first to consider on ratings and review volume, while 다산수안과의원 (Dasan Su Eye Clinic) stands out for its review count and Sunday hours. If station access is your priority, 드림삼성안과의원 (Dream Samseong Eye Clinic) is also worth noting. That said, glaucoma is a condition that requires long-term follow-up, so the way a clinic explains things and how easy it is to keep visiting matter more than ratings alone.
This article summarises information from collected data; actual diagnosis and treatment require a doctor's judgement. Before choosing a clinic, always call to confirm the latest opening hours and whether the tests you need are available.
