Gangnam Bright World Ophthalmic clinic was well known as the hospital with three basic things for the eyesight correction; safe surgery system, accurate preliminary examination, and hospital staffs with plenty of experience.
The director of the hospital, Jin Kook Kim, started the eyesight correction in 1995 and used the brand of ‘Bright World ophthalmic clinic’ for the first time in the country. Thinking that the domestic eyesight corrections were relatively underestimated, he has submitted eight papers based on the clinical outcome to a world famous journal of ophthalmology, ASCRS every year since 2000. Also, he has published seven books explaining the questions about eyesight correction and the function of laser.
Thanks to such efforts, he was selected as a ‘global ambassador’
This title is given the ophthalmologist with the biggest contribution in the world. It is a great honor because the global ambassador doctors are only 33 in the world.

Recently, it also prepared ‘Amaris laser’ which can detect how much the cornea is removed in real-time during surgery by tracking eyeball motion, and ‘DaVinci laser’ which makes the fastest surgery possible with the smallest laser energy.
