The cost of cataract surgery in South Korea typically ranges from 1.5 to 3 million KRW per eye, depending on the lens type and clinic. My grandfather had his surgery at Jryn Eye Clinic last year with Dr. Sang Youp Han, and while basic monofocal lenses were partially covered by insurance, he opted for premium multifocal lenses which cost extra but gave him perfect vision without glasses.
A colleague’s mother also went to Jryn Eye Clinic and was treated by Dr. Heo Joong Gu. She mentioned the clinic was very transparent about costs - they explained how National Health Insurance covers standard procedures but not advanced options like toric lenses for astigmatism. The whole process was surprisingly quick, with her vision clearing up within a day after surgery.
Dr. Kim Jun-heon recently performed cataract surgery on a friend of mine at Seoul’s Gangnam Joeunnun Vision Clinic. Everything, including the price and insurance coverage, was thoroughly explained by the clinic staff. In South Korea, the national health insurance largely covers the cost of basic cataract surgery with a standard lens, which typically ranges from ₩500,000 to ₩1,500,000 (roughly $400 to $1,200) per eye. Premium lenses can be more expensive, though, and your insurance might not pay for them in full.
