Thank you for visiting our website.
Since its establishment in 1997, BGSS (BalGeunSeSang) Eye Clinic has
been at the forefront of ophthalmology in Korea, guided by three
core missions: to be a "Pioneer Clinic" that drives change and
innovation, a "Giving Clinic" that helps create a happier world, and
an "Open Clinic" that fosters communication and culture.
We have established unparalleled expertise in various vision
correction surgeries, including treatments for myopia, astigmatism,
presbyopia, and cataracts. Our clinic has led technological
innovation in the ophthalmology field, achieving numerous "firsts"
along the way.
Building on this extensive clinical experience and over 20,000
annual surgical cases, we have introduced the BGSS AI Surgical
Diagnostic Program, which combines big data and artificial
intelligence. This allows us to propose the safest and most
effective surgical methods, tailored to each patient.
Rooted in patient-centered care, we are committed to advancing
beyond Korea and becoming a global leader in ophthalmology. We will
continue striving to establish a safe medical system that meets
international standards and set the global benchmark in the field of
vision correction.
Thank you.
