Kang Sung-Yong

Dr. Kang Sung-yong is the Founder and Chief Director of Eyereum Eye Clinic and a global authority in vision correction surgery. A Yonsei University College of Medicine graduate, he completed specialty training and clinical fellowship at Severance Hospital and serves as Visiting Professor at Yonsei and Ulsan. A ZEISS SMILE Ambassador and Former ISRS International Council Member (2020-2023), he has 65+ SCI publications, two ASCRS SMILE Best Paper Awards, and 100,000+ surgeries performed.

Eyereum is a research-driven ophthalmology clinic, not a high-volume surgery factory. Every case is analyzed in our in-house lab and validated through SCI-indexed journals. We reject one-size-fits-all surgery and deliver fully customized procedures tailored to each patient's corneal topography and biomechanics.
