Located on Busan’s main hub, Seomyeon Medical Street, BGN Eye Clinic Busan Branch has steadily led the way as part of Korea’s first generation of vision correction since opening in 2000, for the past 24 years. More than just a place for eye surgery, it has established itself as a “vision design studio” that plans for each patient’s lifelong eye health. Unlike typical clinic-level medical providers, it is an ophthalmology hospital, not a clinic, officially recognized after meeting the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s strict and rigorous standards. It features a large, stand-alone medical facility spanning nine floors, along with a university hospital-level precision examination system. With nine experienced ophthalmologists on site who collaborate through co-treatment, this system serves as the clearest marker of trust for international patients who must decide on surgery in an unfamiliar country.

✨ What makes “Busan BGN EYE HOSPITAL” different, as recommended by Creatrip
1. A higher level of safety as a “hospital-level” institution, not just a clinic
In ophthalmology, “clinics” and “hospitals” differ starting from their legal requirements. BGN Busan is a hospital-level medical institution, licensed only when it meets stricter standards such as a larger medical staff, sterilization facilities, and an independent backup power system. Across its large 9-floor facility, it offers the safest and most systematic environment, from exams to surgery to aftercare.
2. Expertise backed by Busan’s first introduction of the “VisuMax 800 (SMILE PRO)”
BGN was the first in Busan to introduce and operate ZEISS’s VisuMax 800, the most advanced vision correction device currently available. More important than having the equipment is the know-how to use it. Based on tens of thousands of cases, BGN’s medical team brings out 100% of the device’s capabilities to deliver your best possible vision.
3. Co-treatment with the “Retina/Eye Disease Center” that looks beyond vision
Before vision correction surgery, detailed testing can sometimes reveal issues with the retina or optic nerve. BGN Busan operates a dedicated retina center, so you can receive immediate specialist co-treatment and care in-house without having to visit another hospital. Experience total care that protects both the surface of your eye (cornea) and the inside (retina).
4. Named a leading medical institution for attracting international patients for 5 consecutive years
BGN aims for “dedicated, close-support care,” not just interpretation. Three full-time coordinators are always on-site for English, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Russian, providing 1-on-1 support throughout the entire process, from booking to pre-op and surgery, plus guidance for post-return care.
