Cataract Surgery at GS Eye Clinic, Gangnam, Seoul – Restoring Clear Vision with Advanced Treatment

What is a Cataract?

A cataract is a condition where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataracts progress gradually, affecting daily activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Without treatment, cataracts can lead to severe vision impairment or even blindness.

At GS Eye Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we offer cutting-edge cataract surgery using premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) and advanced laser technology, restoring sharp, clear vision with fast recovery and minimal discomfort.
