Chan's Eye Clinic was started as Lee Chan Ju Ophthalmology Clinic in 1990 and changed its name to Chan's Eye Clinic in May 2006, which is the typical specialized ophthalmology clinic.
When Director Lee Chan Ju established the clinic at Sillim-dong, he introduced cataract surgery as personal ophthalmology clinic in Seoul and attracted public attention. Today cataract surgery has became the most typical surgery of personal ophthalmology clinic, however, at that time cataract surgery was performed by university hospital and was a big surgery which needed hospital treatment for several days.
Like this, when patients thought that surgery should be performed in university hospitals, director Lee Chan Ju introduced a system of performing the cataract surgery and leaving the hospital through detailed incision and phacoemulsification. In other words, patients can be operated in the morning and leave the hospital in the afternoon, which created a sensation between ophthalmology clinic. Today detailed incision and phacoemulsification have became the basis of cataract surgery, however, that system was the 10 years earlier method in 1990.
Now Chan's Eye Clinic performs 1500 cataract surgeries every year, which is an amazing amount to a personal clinic, and performs glaucoma surgery, strabismus surgery and eye plastic surgery.
Like this, Chan's Eye Clinic not only performs every eye surgery from basic care of eye diseases to detailed surgery, but also have many excellent surgery experiences in Eximer Laser Operations called Lasik.
Especially Chan's Eye Clinic introduced Eximer Laser Operations at first in 1991 and have performed laser refractive surgery since 1991. But Chan's Eye Clinic keeps making an effort to continually accept new medical technologies, and as a result, the clinic was authorized as an exclusive hospital of Lasik surgery in 1995, Epi-lasik surgery in 2004, and ASA 80 presbyopia surgery for over 40s in 2005, and it gives a hope of life to many people.
In addition, Chan's Eye Clinic performs surgeries inserting Implantable Contact Lens(ICL) or Artisan lens for hyper-myopia patients whom laser refractive surgery cannot be performed to. To improve presbyopia symptom generated after cataract surgery, Chan's Eye Clinic introduced 1CU(Crystalens, ReSTOR lens) surgery long time ago and have made an effort to treat patients. For these reason, Chan's Eye Clinic is recognised as a leading eye surgery clinic.
