I never thought I’d be one of those people raving about their eye doctor online… but here we are.
About a year ago, I was squinting through my fifth Zoom class of the day, pushing my glasses up for the hundredth time, and I just thought, “Enough.” I started looking into laser eye surgery options in Korea — there are so many — but the name that kept popping up over and over again was Dr. Chung Eui Sang at SNU Eye Clinic.
At first, I thought maybe it was just good SEO or slick marketing. But then I stumbled across a few blog reviews, then some Naver Café posts, and even some expat YouTube videos — and everyone seemed to say the same thing:
“Dr. Chung is meticulous, honest, and the results speak for themselves.”
My Experience: From Nervous to Crystal Clear
I finally made an appointment. Walking into SNU Eye Clinic felt more like entering a high-end wellness center than a typical eye hospital — sleek, modern, and super welcoming. The staff spoke fluent English, which helped since my Korean is only so-so when it comes to medical stuff.
When I met Dr. Chung, he instantly gave off a calm, trustworthy vibe — not the rushed “assembly-line” feeling I’d gotten at other clinics. He didn’t push any one treatment; instead, he took his time evaluating my eyes (seriously, the exam was so thorough), and then explained what I was eligible for, what to expect, and what kind of results I might realistically achieve.
I went with SMILE laser surgery, and here’s the wild part:
- The procedure took less than 20 minutes
- I walked out the same day
- Within 3 days, I was seeing 20/20
- No pain, barely any dryness, just freedom from glasses
So What Are Other Patients Saying?
After my own experience, I dove deeper into what others were saying — and honestly, it matched what I felt. Patients often mention:
- “He’s extremely precise” — many note how careful he is with eligibility and diagnostics
- “You never feel rushed” — consultations are unrushed and personal
- “Results are amazing” — from dry eye treatment to Ulthera to SMILE, patients report huge satisfaction
- “He tells you the truth” — if you’re not a good candidate, he won’t take your money
Some people even travel from overseas just to see him.
Why I Recommend SNU Eye Clinic & Dr. Chung Eui Sang
It’s rare to find a clinic that blends top-tier medical tech with genuine care. SNU Eye Clinic does both — and Dr. Chung is a big part of that. Whether you’re considering SMILE, LASIK, Ulthera, or even just treating digital eye strain, I’d recommend them in a heartbeat.
I went in nervous, and I came out seeing clearly — not just literally, but in terms of what great care should feel like.
If anyone’s debating whether to go through with it — feel free to reply or DM. I had the same doubts. I’m just really, really glad I trusted the reviews… and my eyes… to Dr. Chung.
