Retina clinic Korea: specialist care for retinal disease in Seoul

Why early retina care matters

Retinal diseases cause gradual vision loss as the retinal nerves develop abnormalities. If your vision is already poor, you can miss the right time for treatment without knowing it. A retinal check finds problems early, when more options are open.

At Sky Eye Clinic, retina specialist Dr. Yu Hyeong-Gon sees patients directly. He is a former Seoul National University Hospital professor (2001 to 2022). You can read his credentials on the doctors page.

Three principles behind our retina care

• Consistent quality of care. We invest in medical technology and equipment dedicated to retina care, including OCT, wide-angle fundus imaging, VUNO Fundus AI and retinal laser equipment.
• Treatment for the patient, not for volume. We avoid unnecessary treatment and suggest the approach that fits each eye.
• Continuous improvement. We base our care on ongoing research and academic activity in eye health.

Our retina and vitrectomy tools include EVA Nexus vitrectomy equipment, EasyRet retinal laser, CLARUS and OPTOS wide-angle fundus imaging, and CIRRUS OCT 6000. Your doctor chooses the tests that match your symptoms.

Retinal and glaucoma conditions we treat

Choose the condition closest to your symptoms. Our retina clinic Korea team covers each of these. Each page explains causes, symptoms, treatment options and when to see a doctor.

• Macular degeneration treatment: central vision loss, dry and wet types, injections and photodynamic laser.
• Diabetic retinopathy treatment: eye damage from long-term diabetes, with injection, laser and surgical options.
• Uveitis treatment: inflammation of the uvea, treated according to its cause.
• Retinal detachment surgery: an emergency where the retina lifts away from the eye wall.
• Epiretinal membrane treatment: a thin membrane on the retina that distorts vision.
• Retinal vascular disease: artery and vein occlusion, with sudden or blurred vision loss.
• Glaucoma treatment: optic nerve damage that narrows your visual field.

Warning signs that need a retinal exam

Retinal conditions often start quietly. See an eye doctor promptly if you notice any of the following.

• Floaters, or flashes of light like a camera flash
• A dark curtain across part of your vision
• Letters that look shaky or straight lines that look curved
• Sudden vision loss, even if temporary
• Gradually narrowing vision, or poor night vision
