K-ClinicIncheon Airport to Gangnam Station: Getting to Your Eye Clinic
Gangnam Good Eye Clinic is a 2-minute walk from Gangnam Station, at 107 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (7th and 9th floors). From Incheon Airport you can take the AREX airport railroad, an airport bus or a taxi. The pre-surgery exam takes 2–3 hours, so leave generous travel time on appointment day.
Where Is Gangnam Good Eye Clinic?
The location is simple:
Gangnam Good Eye Clinic is at 107 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (7th and 9th floors), and it is a 2-minute walk from Gangnam Station. That is one of the most practical advantages for visitors: after your appointment you can go straight back to your itinerary instead of losing half a day in transit.
How to Get From Incheon Airport to Gangnam: 3 Options
Most international flights land at Incheon. There are three common ways to reach the Gangnam area, each suited to different situations:
| Option | Best for | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| AREX airport railroad | Light luggage, avoiding traffic | Requires a transfer to reach Gangnam |
| Airport bus | Heavy luggage, a direct ride | Road traffic affects travel time |
| Taxi | Late-night arrival, splitting the fare | Highest cost, and rush hour causes jams |
Which one to take depends on your arrival time and how much luggage you have. With large suitcases, the airport bus is usually the easiest. If you are short on time and arrive at rush hour, the railroad is less affected by traffic.
Schedules and fares change, so check the current official information before you travel. This section only describes the characteristics of each option.
Flying Into Gimpo Airport Instead?
Some flights land at Gimpo. Gimpo is closer to central Seoul than Incheon, so getting to the Gangnam area is usually faster. Both the subway and airport buses run from there, and the routes are similar to those above.
If you are traveling to Korea specifically for your appointment, take this into account when booking flights. Your arrival airport can change whether you can make it to the exam slot on the same day.
How Should I Plan My Appointment Day?
This is the most practical part. The detailed pre-surgery exam at Gangnam Good Eye Clinic takes about 2–3 hours, and with the doctor consultation and surgery, you should keep the whole day free.
Opening hours are below. Saturday closes at 16:00, so pay attention to that:
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday–Wednesday | 10:00–18:30 |
| Friday | 10:00–20:00 |
| Saturday | 09:00–16:00 |
| Thursday, Sunday and public holidays | Closed |
Seoul's commuter rush hours are congested, and the Gangnam area is especially busy. For morning appointments, allow extra travel time.
Can I Arrive and Have My Eye Exam on the Same Day?
It depends on your flight. Send us your arrival time and the time slot you want through the live chat or the "Request booking" button, and we will reply on whether it works.
In general, arriving in the afternoon and going straight to the exam is very tight. The exam takes 2–3 hours, and with the trip from the airport into the city, you often will not make it in time.
A safer plan is to arrive on day one, settle in, and keep the whole of day two for the clinic.
Where Should I Stay Near the Clinic?
Some packages include accommodation and airport pickup/drop-off, or up to ₩200,000 in cash credit. This applies to the SMILE Pro Full Package, Evo ICL, the LBV package and Viva ICL.
If you want to use this, confirm where you will stay, for how many nights and the airport transfer time during your consultation. Do not book a hotel first and ask afterward.
If you already have a trip planned and your hotel is booked, the cash credit is usually the better deal.
What Should I Know About Returning to the Hotel After Surgery?
The clinic's aftercare instructions are to use your eye drops as directed by the doctor and rest as much as possible. Medication is paid separately at a pharmacy and costs a little over ₩40,000 for one month.
We also recommend bringing sunglasses to wear when you go outside after surgery. The walk back to the subway station is only 2 minutes, but sunglasses will be more comfortable.
Do not schedule anything else on surgery day. Shopping or shows are better placed on the day before surgery.
