About the clinic
Corneal pachymetry measures the thickness of the cornea. Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, uses Pentacam and Galilei G4 corneal tomography to map corneal thickness and shape. The clinic’s detailed eye examination takes about 2–3 hours.
The outpatient examination includes checks of vision, eye pressure, and the cornea, followed by tests based on the patient’s condition. Central corneal thickness is also recorded for each eye during IOL power measurements, alongside axial length and keratometry.
Preparation and examination
- Stop wearing soft or toric contact lenses 7 days before the examination.
- Stop wearing hard (RGP) lenses 14 days before the examination.
- Stop wearing ortho-K lenses 1 month before the examination.
- Bring the glasses normally worn.
- Dilating eye drops can cause glare and blurred near vision for 6–8 hours. Patients cannot drive themselves after the examination.
Examinations and consultations take place in the clinic’s outpatient area on the 7th floor. Findings are reviewed in a one-to-one consultation.
Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic is a private ophthalmology clinic founded in 2005. It was designated a Foreign Patient-Friendly Medical Institution by South Korea’s Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2018.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Now, my vision is considered perfect by local standards, and I'm feeling better than expected
The coordinator was always in touch and handled all communication with the clinic, so I didn't have to spend my own time or energy organizing anything. It made the whole experience easy, even when I had to reschedule my appointment several times. The clinic itself was extremely professional and modern, with state-of-the-art equipment and specialists who speak English. I had the SMILE procedure on one eye to correct a lifetime of astigmatism and worsening vision. Now, my vision is considered perfect by local standards, and I'm feeling better than expected. The clinic has stayed in touch since the surgery. My advice is simple: just come to the clinic and trust the professionals. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance; just show up.
The coordinator was always in touch and handled all communication with the clinic, so I didn’t have to spend my own time, energy, or effort on organizing anything. It made the whole experience incredibly easy and stress-free.
I had to reschedule my appointment several times, and thanks to the coordinator, everything was arranged smoothly each time.
The clinic itself exceeded all my expectations. Everything was extremely professional, modern, and aesthetically beautiful. The equipment is state-of-the-art, and the specialists are highly qualified and speak English, which made communication very comfortable.
I had lived with astigmatism and worsening vision my entire life, and now, according to Korean standards, my vision is considered perfect. I’m incredibly happy with the result.
I’m very grateful for the entire experience and would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone who is planning to improve their vision.
