 |
|
Finding an English speaking dentist was no problem but trying to find an English speaking eye doctor is not so easy. It's been years since I had an eye exam and my left eye seems to need an updated prescription.
Anyone know of the name/location of an English speaking eye doctor in/near Seoul?
Thanks in advance!!! |

| Just remember to brush up on your Korean alphabet for the chart. |

Charts use shapes (which way does it point/open) and not the Korean alphabet.
Most glasses (optical) shops will do a free eye exam. Language skills aren't really necessary unless you have serious problems and need an ophthalmologist (in which case you will need to go to an international clinic).
For a simple issuance of eye glasses you will get the machine testing on your eyes, followed by a quick exam to confirm the result from the machine. Most opticians can speak basic English (even if the sales staff at the counter can't).
Eyeglass shops are all over the place. Just open your eyes.

I know. It was a bad joke. |
