Gangnam Brand Eye Clinic in Seoul, South Korea, specializes in advanced cataract removal using the FAST all-laser system. Diagnostics for the condition may cost around $100, while surgery for one eye typically runs $1,100, and procedures for both eyes are around $2,100. The clinic is an official training center for laser technology and holds accreditations from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS).
Treatment is led by Dr. Seung-soo Han, a representative director and ophthalmologist affiliated with Yonsei University Severance Hospital. Dr. Han serves as an instructor for SCHWIND ATOS and has shared his expertise on medical programs like SBS Good Morning. The clinic uses data from 47,000+ previous eye records to customize each procedure. This high volume of data helps the surgical team select the best lens and laser settings for every patient.
Diagnostics and surgical options
The clinic uses the FAST all-laser system which combines LENSAR, CATALYS, and SIGNATURE PRO technology. This method removes the need for manual blades or ultrasound energy, which helps protect the eye from heat damage. Patients can choose from several treatment paths:
- Cataract diagnostic before OP. This initial exam costs around $100 and determines the lens density and eye health.
- ALL-LASER cataract surgery (FAST system). This procedure takes about 5 minutes per eye and is performed on an outpatient basis. It uses a femtosecond laser for incisions and lens fragmentation.
- Presbyopia-correcting cataract surgery. This option uses premium multifocal or toric intraocular lenses (IOL). It helps correct distance, intermediate, and near vision at the same time.
- Cataract reoperation center. Specialists use YAG lasers and femtosecond technology to fix issues from previous surgeries or treat secondary cataracts.
Intraocular lens (IOL) selection
The clinic offers a wide range of premium lenses to restore clear vision and reduce the need for glasses. The selection includes several global brands and models:
- Clareon PanOptix Pro and Odyssey. These lenses provide high-quality vision across different distances.
- Synergy and AcrySof IQ. Known for sharp focus and stability inside the eye.
- Vivinex and Lentis. Options for patients needing specific astigmatism or light-filtering corrections.
Most patients return to their daily activities quickly because the laser system makes very small, precise incisions. The clinic has been recognized as the top LENSAR laser cataract facility in Korea for the 2022–2026 period. You can request a consultation or a personalized treatment plan through Bookimed.
