Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) is a condition in which a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures, causing brain damage. To minimize aftereffects, prompt emergency response is most important, under the principle that 'time is brain.' The risk of stroke is especially high in winter and during seasonal changes, so please follow the prevention guidelines carefully.2026-06-26

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a condition in which prolonged high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels and nerve tissue of the retina, the light-sensing layer inside the eye. About 15 to 30% of diabetic patients in Korea have this condition, and it is important to have an annual eye exam even without symptoms. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the three leading causes of blindness in Korea, so early detection and appropriate treatment are essential to protecting your vision.2026-06-26

Dizziness is a general term for a feeling that the surroundings are spinning or that it is hard to keep your balance. It may be caused by something simple, such as anemia or an ear problem, but it can also be a sign of a dangerous brain condition. Because the exact cause must be found and treated, please be sure to consult a medical specialist for an examination.2026-06-26

Dry eye disease is a condition in which the surface of the eye becomes dry because there are not enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. It causes a variety of symptoms, such as stinging, dryness, and a feeling that something is in the eye. If symptoms are severe or persist, please consult an ophthalmology specialist.2026-06-26

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a disease in which the optic nerve inside the eye is gradually damaged by high intraocular pressure or other factors, causing the visual field to narrow progressively. There are almost no symptoms in the early stage, so detection can be delayed, and rather than a cure, lifelong consistent management is important. Detecting it early through regular checkups and starting treatment is the best way to help prevent blindness.2026-06-26
