We began operating as the nation’s first independent ophthalmology department in 1923, after Hong Seok-hoo, one of the first graduates of Chejungwon Medical School, started to perform ophthalmologic medical care in 1908. Then, in October 17, 1996, the first EYE & ENT Hospital was established, with the goal of ensuring patient convenience and specialist medical care. Finally, the EYE Hospital was rebuilt as the EYE Hospital on September 1st, 2019.
