What Makes a Reputable Ophthalmology Clinic in Seoul? An Expert's Insight
*Please note that this article is written by an ophthalmologist with 18 years of experience.
I am writing this with the hope that no one else will be harmed by the countless advertisements that appear every time you search the internet.
Hello. I am Kim Sun-young, the head doctor, who has performed 5,000 vision correction surgeries and 20,000 cataract surgeries. ^^
This year alone, not only plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and dentists, but also famous tycoons are coming to see me.
I'm not sure how this rumor started, but I've also been asked to be a consultant on TV shows.
(Thanks to this, I am truly grateful to be able to help more people.)
I also run a YouTube channel ('Ophthalmology Sister' with 48,000 subscribers).
I would like to share again what I told my subscribers last time.
I'm going to talk about '3 characteristics of a skilled and famous ophthalmology clinic in Seoul.'
*For reference, please note that the content below reflects my personal opinion. ^^
I have realized this myself after performing over 30,000 surgeries for 18 years, so I think you can trust it to some extent. Hehe.
Famous Ophthalmology Clinic in Seoul? First Characteristic
It has a re-operation center.
"Re-operation Center"
Most hospitals cannot operate one.
Why?
Not only is the maintenance cost considerable, but it is also not easy to have the skills to do so.
Re-operations commonly performed in ophthalmology clinics include not only vision correction surgeries such as 'LASIK, LASEK, and Smile', but also lens insertion surgeries such as cataracts, which are highly difficult.
These re-operations are 2-3 times more difficult than the first surgery.
It's not something that can be easily done with 3-4,000 surgeries, but it requires a separate time to specialize in this field.
So, most doctors want to open a re-operation center, but it is difficult to do so.
But if the ophthalmology clinic you found has a 'Re-operation Center'?
You don't have to doubt the skills of that hospital.
(I can guarantee this)
Of course!
Just because there is no center does not mean that the skills are insufficient, so I hope you don't misunderstand!^^
Famous Ophthalmology Clinic in Seoul? Second Characteristic
They emphasize the history of optometrists.
Most people who have not been to an ophthalmology clinic often think that doctors are everything.
Actually, I thought so too.
When I go to the dentist or orthopedic surgeon, I usually decide based on the doctor.
But ophthalmology is a little different.
If the optometrist is not good,
No matter how well the surgery is done,
The results cannot be good!
This is because doctors set the laser values and astigmatism axis based on the optometrist's examination results.
Actually, when I was working as a pay doctor, most of the optometrists were new.
Based on that result,
When I performed surgery at that time,
The vision that should have been 1.0 came out to be 0.8 or 0.7.
So, really..
In the end, I remember examining the patients myself and then performing the surgery. ^^
So, at our ophthalmology clinic now,
We only entrust the most important 'vision test' to two people with more than 10 years of experience.
Ophthalmologists who know this well emphasize the 'resume of the optometrist' on their website.
So, when you are looking for a famous ophthalmology clinic in Seoul,
Be sure to check the skills of the optometrist. Hehe.
Famous Ophthalmology Clinic in Seoul? Third Characteristic
It has a lifetime responsibility guarantee system.
Most of you have probably been to a dermatology, orthopedic, or dental clinic,
And have rarely been asked directly by the doctor, 'How was today's procedure?'
It's so common that it's now taken for granted.
But when I was working as a pay doctor,
The ophthalmology clinic I was at introduced 'aftercare' for the first time.
Even after the patient returned home, they chatted with the surgeon via KakaoTalk.
'Are there any uncomfortable areas?'
'Are you not very dry right now?'
In fact, there are many places that provide this much aftercare now.
However, it only ends with ai automatically sending a standardized form.
But good places have a few characteristics.
If a patient has surgery here,
Some places operate a 'lifetime responsibility guarantee system' where they provide free care for life.
There are many ophthalmologists around me who do this.
I really respect them.
Their mindset towards patients and management philosophy...
It feels really upright and that they are thinking of the patient.
Following in the footsteps of those seniors, I also started operating a 'lifetime responsibility guarantee system', and now I am working hard to train my juniors. Hehe.
Anyway, so if you want to go to a good place,
In addition to the two things I mentioned earlier, you should also check whether they operate a 'lifetime responsibility guarantee system'.
I have told you the content that will be truly helpful while working as an ophthalmologist for 18 years, so I hope you choose a place that you can be satisfied with.
