Overview
1 / 6
HanGil Eye Hospital (한길안과병원) is not just a clinic — it's an institution. Founded in 1985, this Incheon-based eye hospital has spent four decades as a dedicated ophthalmology center, earning designation as a Ministry of Health and Welfare Specialized Eye Hospital and an accredited training facility that has shaped the next generation of Korean ophthalmologists.
Under the leadership of Chairman Dr. Jeong Gyu-hyeong, HanGil's team of five specialists covers the full spectrum of eye care, from vision correction surgery to advanced cataract procedures. Each doctor brings focused expertise in corneal and refractive surgery, ensuring patients receive care from specialists who have dedicated their careers to these specific conditions.
What makes HanGil truly exceptional is its commitment to the community. The hospital provides free eye surgery to 100 patients annually — a social contribution program that reflects its founding belief that quality eye care should be accessible to everyone. Selected as one of Asia's best private hospitals, HanGil combines four decades of experience with a social mission that extends far beyond its walls.
