Editorial note: VERIFIED Tier 1. Dr. Ik Hee Ryu independently confirmed via AAO 2025 invited-speaker coverage, peer-reviewed publications (Springer, Nature Scientific Reports, PMC, ARVO/TVST), and Yonsei adjunct-professor affiliation — multiple INDEPENDENT academic sources beyond the clinic site. AAO/ESCRS/ASCRS/KSCRS membership corroborated. FLAG: the original candidate cited RSAS (Refractive Surgery Alliance Society) membership — that specific page returned 404 and could not be independently confirmed; removed from credential claims (other authority memberships fully establish Tier 1). 12 ophthalmologists on staff. Offers SMILE Pro, SMILE, LASIK, PRK/LASEK, ICL, RLE. Price tagged 'review' (Creatrip/Expat Health Seoul) — verify on official site before publishing.
