Choi Ki-yong

Dr. Choi Ki-yong is a Director at HanGil Eye Hospital specializing in cataract, cornea, and refractive surgery. He earned his MD and Ph.D. in Medicine from Seoul National University College of Medicine, and previously served as Ophthalmology Fellow at Boston University and the University of Minnesota in the United States. He also served as Chief of Ophthalmology at the National Medical Center and as Department Chair of Ophthalmology at Gachon University Gil Medical Center before joining HanGil as a Treatment Director.

Dr. Choi practices within HanGil Eye Hospital's guiding principle of "40 years on a single ophthalmology path, designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare as a specialty and training hospital" — bringing his Boston and Minnesota fellowship experience to cataract, cornea, and refractive surgery. He matches the right surgical option to each patient's ocular anatomy and visual goals rather than promoting a single technique.
