Where to See Dr. Jong-Ho Lee: BGSS Eye Clinic in Seoul and Busan
A guide to the clinics connected to Dr. Lee and how to book an examination
Patients often find Dr. Jong-Ho Lee through his research, his lectures on ICL and SMILE Pro, or a recommendation from a friend who had surgery at BGSS. A common next question is simple: where can I actually be examined? This guide explains the clinics connected to Dr. Lee and which one may suit you best.
BGSS Eye Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul
The main clinic is BGSS Eye Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul. It offers the full range of vision correction, including SMILE LASIK, LASEK, ICL lens implantation and cataract surgery. International visitors can find language support and booking information on the international patients page.
BGSS Eye Clinic in Busan (Seomyeon)
BGSS was founded in Busan in 1997, and the Busan BGSS Eye Clinic in Seomyeon continues to follow the clinical protocols Dr. Lee developed. It is a practical choice for patients arriving by cruise, flying into Gimhae, or living in southern Korea. The Busan team offers SMILE Pro, LASIK and ICL surgery, with English-speaking ophthalmologists.
If you are considering ICL
ICL is the area most closely associated with Dr. Lee, who was appointed Korea's first certified ICL instructor. If you are new to the procedure, start with our complete guide to ICL surgery, then read the day-by-day ICL recovery timeline so you know what the first weeks look like. More on Dr. Lee's work in this field is on the ICL Leadership page.
Planning a trip for eye surgery
Most international patients need a detailed examination before any surgery is confirmed, and some need a few days of follow-up afterwards. It helps to plan accommodation close to the clinic. Gangnam.Health has an independent guide to foreign-friendly eye clinics in Korea and another on hotels to stay in after eye surgery.
Booking a consultation
Whichever location you choose, the first step is a comprehensive eye exam. It measures your prescription, corneal thickness and eye structure so the surgeon can recommend the procedure that fits your eyes rather than a one-size-fits-all option. You can request an appointment through the consultation page.
