Treatment Overview
AceVision Premium RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) in Korea represents the next generation of precision intraocular lens surgery — a premium-grade refractive solution that replaces the natural lens with a custom-designed artificial lens to correct vision permanently. This advanced procedure combines AI-driven biometric analysis, femtosecond-assisted precision, and personalized optical mapping to deliver exceptional clarity, stability, and visual comfort.
Unlike LASIK, PRK, or SMILE — which reshape the cornea — AceVision Premium RLE corrects vision from within the eye by replacing the aging or optically imperfect lens. The procedure eliminates the need for future cataract surgery and provides long-term correction for myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism.
Korean ophthalmic centers utilize next-generation imaging systems, 3D lens mapping, and AI-calibrated surgical platforms to ensure micron-level precision and perfect centration, achieving superior visual results with minimal downtime.
AceVision Premium RLE is ideal for patients seeking a permanent vision correction alternative to laser procedures — especially those experiencing presbyopia or early lens changes.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia through intraocular lens replacement.
- Offer a permanent vision correction option beyond the limits of laser eye surgery.
- Prevent future cataract development by replacing the natural lens with an advanced artificial one.
- Enhance both distance and near vision through multifocal, trifocal, or EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) lens technology.
Benefits
- Permanent Vision Correction: Eliminates the natural lens that ages or clouds over time.
- AI-Guided Precision: Tailored lens selection and alignment using biometric data and AI modeling.
- No Regression Risk: Stable, lifetime correction unaffected by corneal changes.
- Cataract Prevention: Removes the possibility of future cataracts.
- Customized Vision Options: Choice of monofocal, multifocal, or EDOF lenses based on lifestyle needs.
- Fast Recovery: Minimal discomfort and rapid visual improvement within days.
Ideal Candidates
AceVision Premium RLE in Korea is suitable for:
- Adults aged 40 and above with presbyopia or early lens aging.
- Patients unsuitable for LASIK, SMILE, or PRK due to thin or irregular corneas.
- Individuals seeking a permanent, lens-based vision correction.
- Those desiring freedom from reading glasses or bifocals.
- Professionals and active individuals who prioritize long-term visual stability and clarity.
Possible Risks & Complications
AceVision Premium RLE is a highly advanced and safe procedure, but as with any intraocular surgery, mild and temporary side effects may occur:
- Temporary Blurred Vision: Normal during early adaptation; clears as eyes adjust to new lenses.
- Glare or Halos: Common with multifocal lenses; typically diminishes over time.
- Dryness or Mild Discomfort: Managed with lubricating drops.
- Inflammation: Controlled with prescribed anti-inflammatory medication.
- Minor Refractive Adjustments: Occasionally needed for fine-tuning vision.
Korean surgeons utilize AI-calibrated femtosecond laser systems, intraoperative aberrometry, and real-time imaging guidance to minimize risks and ensure consistent, precise outcomes.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Lens Surgery: Creates ultra-precise incisions and lens fragmentation.
- AI Biometric Planning: Calculates ideal lens power, position, and axis for perfect centration.
- 3D Intraoperative Imaging: Real-time visualization ensures sub-micron accuracy.
- Premium IOL Technology: Includes trifocal, EDOF, and toric lenses for custom visual correction.
- Ocular Surface Optimization: Ensures optimal corneal health pre- and post-surgery.
- Regenerative Recovery System: Enhances tissue healing and comfort post-procedure.
This technology-driven system defines the modern standard for lens-based vision correction — combining safety, precision, and natural visual restoration.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Preoperative Examination:
Detailed biometric analysis, corneal topography, and wavefront evaluation determine the best lens type and surgical plan. - Femtosecond Laser Lens Fragmentation:
The natural lens is precisely segmented using laser pulses for minimal trauma. - Lens Removal & Implantation:
The old lens is replaced with a premium intraocular lens tailored to your prescription. - AI-Guided Positioning:
Real-time imaging ensures perfect alignment for optimal optical performance. - Recovery & Protection:
Regenerative drops and protective care promote fast healing and comfort.
Procedure Duration: 15–20 minutes per eye
Recovery Period: Functional vision within 24–48 hours; full stabilization in 2–4 weeks.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Use prescribed antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and lubricating drops as directed.
- Avoid eye rubbing or strenuous activity for one week.
- Wear protective eyewear during sleep or outdoor activities.
- Refrain from swimming, saunas, or dusty environments for two weeks.
- Attend scheduled follow-up visits for postoperative monitoring.
Recovery Timeline
- Days 1–3: Mild dryness or glare; vision begins to stabilize.
- Week 1: Clear vision for daily activities.
- Weeks 2–4: Enhanced focus and contrast across all distances.
- 1–3 Months: Full visual adaptation and final refinement achieved.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances without glasses.
- Enhanced contrast sensitivity and reduced night glare.
- Stable, long-lasting results independent of corneal shape or thickness.
- Freedom from cataracts and most age-related visual issues.
Longevity
AceVision Premium RLE offers permanent correction and lens clarity for life, with Korean clinics reporting success rates above 98% and high patient satisfaction across all age groups.
