St. Mary's Jin Eye Center

Overview
1 / 21
St. Mary's Jin Eye Center (성모진안과의원, formerly known by its romanization "Seongmojin") is led by two MD/PhD ophthalmologists who both trained as professors at The Catholic University of Korea's Seoul St. Mary's Hospital — one of Korea's most prestigious academic medical centers. The clinic combines this academic depth with state-of-the-art technology to deliver world-class vision correction, cataract surgery, retinal care, and dry eye treatment in the heart of Gangnam.
The clinic operates with a dual-specialist model: Dr. Park Jin-hyung covers retinal disease, cataract, and refractive surgery, while Dr. Park Jae-hyun specializes in anterior segment, refractive surgery, and dry eye. Both remain active as adjunct professors at Catholic University Medical School and certified instructors of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.
Our Core Values
Catholic University Faculty Heritage
Both directors trained as faculty members at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital — one of Korea's most respected academic medical centers. This university-hospital backbone shapes the clinic's evidence-based approach: textbook-grade diagnostics, surgical protocols benchmarked against tertiary-care standards, and ongoing involvement in academic publication.
Premium IOL Pioneer
St. Mary's Jin Eye Center was the first clinic in Korea to introduce the J&J Odyssey lens and remains an early adopter of the latest multifocal IOLs including Clareon PanOptix Pro (released April 2026). Patients gain access to next-generation cataract and presbyopia correction technology often months before broader availability.
14+ Premium Devices In-House
From ELITA SILK 7th-generation laser and Amaris RED 1050Hz to CENTURION cataract platform, DRI OCT Triton, M22 IPL, and OPMI LUMERA 700 — the clinic's diagnostic and surgical equipment matches what you'd find at top-tier university hospitals, all under one roof.
True 6-Language Service
Beyond a multilingual website (Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Mongolian, Indonesian), the clinic provides genuine multilingual consultation support — a critical advantage for international patients navigating complex eye-surgery decisions where every nuance of consent and aftercare matters.
Honest, Conservative Practice
No upselling. No over-treatment. Both directors are known for declining unnecessary procedures and recommending less invasive options when appropriate. This philosophy is reflected in 4.8★ ratings across 143 verified reviews on Modoodoc, Korea's leading medical review platform.

Premium IOL Specialist
The clinic was the first in Korea to introduce the J&J Odyssey lens and offers the full range of latest multifocal IOLs including Clareon PanOptix Pro (released 2026.04), Vivity, and TECNIS Synergy.
