BGSS Clinic CEO Jong-Ho Lee
Greetings,
I am Dr. Jong-Ho Lee,
the founder of BGSS Eye Clinic.

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.

Jong-Ho Lee, M.D.,Ph.D.
