K-ClinicGangnam Good Eye Clinic Hours: Closed Thu, Fri Till 8 PM
Gangnam Good Eye Clinic in Seoul is closed on Thursdays, Sundays and public holidays. Fridays run longest (10:00–20:00) and Saturdays open earliest (09:00). The detailed pre-op exam takes about 2–3 hours, and the exam and surgery can be done on the same day, so choosing the right clinic day keeps your whole trip on track.
Remember one thing: no Thursday appointments
Most clinics close on Sundays, but Gangnam Good Eye Clinic is also closed on Thursdays. Many travelers assume every weekday works and end up booking right into a Thursday.
This guide lays out the clinic's opening hours, then shows how to pick your clinic day around typical flight arrival times.
Gangnam eye clinic hours: the weekly schedule
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday – Wednesday | 10:00–18:30 |
| Thursday | Closed |
| Friday | 10:00–20:00 |
| Saturday | 09:00–16:00 |
| Sunday | Closed |
The clinic is also closed on public holidays. Korea's long holidays (such as Chuseok and Lunar New Year) fall on different dates from those in your home country, so check them before booking flights.
Why does the clinic day matter so much?
At Gangnam Good Eye Clinic, the detailed pre-op exam, the doctor consultation and the surgery can all be scheduled on the same day. The exam alone takes about 2–3 hours, and with the consultation and surgery added, that day is essentially fully booked.
If you choose a day with long opening hours, the schedule feels relaxed. If you land on a closed day, your whole trip shifts back by a day.
How to choose your clinic day based on your flight
The two most common ways to plan it:
- Weekday leave plan: Arrive Wednesday evening, visit the clinic on Friday (open until 8 PM), rest over the weekend, then fly home.
- Weekend plan: Arrive Friday evening, go to the clinic at 9 AM on Saturday, and rest at your hotel after the afternoon.

Plan your flight home too
You don't fly out right after surgery. Tell the doctor your return date during the consultation, and the doctor will confirm whether your schedule is sufficient for the procedure and your recovery.

|---|---|
| 1 | Consult via live chat and ask how many days to stop wearing contact lenses |
| 2 | Avoid Thursdays, Sundays and public holidays, and pick a clinic day |
| 3 | Book your flights and tell the doctor your return flight |
| 4 | Plan post-op rest and your trip home following the doctor's instructions |
