Eye Care 2
EYE CARE in Korea is generally good and inexpensive. You can get an eye test in almost every shop that sells glasses. Ophthalmologists can be found in most big hospitals.
Pretty much everything that is available in North America and Europe can be found in Korea. The cost of glasses is also much lower than in many other countries.
When you get your glasses, try them on and make sure the fit is right and that you can see properly. The quality of work is generally very good but mistakes can be made anywhere. You can shop around if you want someone who speaks English.
Most hospitals provide the fulll range of vision-related medical care - if the specialist you need does not speak English, there may be an international clinic in the facility or staff who can help translate. However, here as in many other specialties, many physicians have studied abroad and it is not too difficult, especially in Seoul, to find English-speakers (as well as some other languages as well).
Medical procedures are covered by National Health Insurance. For more information on the NHI, go to the Working & Business Section and click on National Health Coverage.
