Treatment Overview
All-Laser ICL Vision System in Korea represents the latest advancement in Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) technology — integrating femtosecond laser precision, AI-guided imaging, and micro-incision lens implantation into a single, fully laser-assisted refractive correction system.
Unlike traditional ICL surgery, which may involve manual steps for lens insertion or corneal incision, the All-Laser ICL System performs every stage — from incision creation to lens positioning — using computer-guided laser technology. This eliminates the need for handheld instruments, ensuring micron-level accuracy, faster healing, and exceptional safety.
Korea’s leading ophthalmology centers have pioneered this innovation, offering patients crystal-clear, stable vision with minimal discomfort and unmatched visual performance.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism without removing or reshaping corneal tissue.
- Provide a fully laser-based ICL solution for patients seeking maximum safety and precision.
- Deliver predictable, high-definition vision with minimal recovery time.
- Preserve natural corneal integrity, ideal for patients with thin or irregular corneas.
Benefits
- 100% Laser-Controlled Precision: No manual incisions — every step is laser-guided.
- Tissue Preservation: No corneal ablation or structural alteration.
- Enhanced Safety: AI-monitored systems reduce surgical variability.
- Ultra-Smooth Lens Placement: Minimizes trauma and ensures perfect centration.
- Rapid Recovery: Most patients regain clear vision within 24–48 hours.
- Long-Term Stability: Maintains optical clarity for decades.
Ideal Candidates
All-Laser ICL Vision System in Korea is ideal for:
- Adults aged 18 years or older with a stable prescription for at least one year.
- Patients with moderate to high myopia or astigmatism unsuitable for LASIK or SMILE.
- Individuals with thin or dry corneas seeking a safe, flap-free option.
- Those who want reversible vision correction that can be upgraded later if needed.
- Patients who desire maximum precision, safety, and comfort through laser-assisted technology.
Possible Risks & Complications
Although extremely safe, as with any ocular procedure, mild and temporary effects can occur:
- Light Sensitivity: Usually subsides within the first few days.
- Mild Glare or Halos: Common during the initial adaptation period.
- Temporary Pressure Fluctuations: Managed through follow-up monitoring.
- Lens Vault Adjustments: Rare, but may be performed if required for ideal spacing.
- Inflammation: Minimal with Korea’s laser-guided sterile operating systems.
Korean surgeons utilize AI-enhanced eye tracking, laser depth sensors, and real-time intraocular monitoring to minimize all potential risks.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- Femtosecond Laser Micro-Incision: Creates a precise corneal entry point with sub-micron control.
- AI-Guided Lens Implantation: Software maps eye anatomy for individualized lens placement.
- 3D Anterior Chamber Imaging: Determines optimal vault height and lens positioning.
- Collamer Lens Technology: Soft, biocompatible lens placed behind the iris and in front of the natural lens.
- Laser-Assisted Alignment: Ensures the ICL is perfectly centered for optimal refraction.
- Biologic Regenerative Healing: Promotes faster tissue recovery and reduces inflammation.
Korean clinics employ advanced All-Laser EVO+ ICL Systems integrating AI-assisted alignment, ultra-fast femtosecond lasers, and oxygen-enhanced regenerative therapy for superior comfort and precision.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Eye Evaluation:
Detailed diagnostics including corneal topography, anterior chamber depth, and endothelial cell count. - AI-Guided Treatment Planning:
Software customizes incision size, location, and ICL dimensions for each eye. - Laser Micro-Incision Creation:
A femtosecond laser forms a tiny incision (about 2.8–3.2 mm) without any blades. - Lens Implantation:
The ICL is folded, inserted through the incision, and positioned precisely behind the iris using laser-guided control. - Vault & Position Verification:
Real-time imaging ensures correct spacing between the ICL and natural lens. - Post-Operative Assessment:
The surgeon confirms visual clarity and stable intraocular pressure before discharge.
Procedure Duration: 20–30 minutes per eye
Recovery: Clear, functional vision within 24 hours for most patients.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Apply prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops as directed.
- Avoid rubbing the eyes for at least one week.
- Wear sunglasses outdoors to protect from bright light and UV rays.
- Refrain from swimming, steam rooms, and heavy exercise for 1–2 weeks.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor lens stability.
Recovery Timeline
- Day 1–2: Rapid vision improvement; mild glare possible.
- Week 1: Vision stabilizes; minimal discomfort remains.
- Weeks 2–4: Enhanced contrast and focus achieved.
- 1–3 Months: Full visual optimization and stable corneal health confirmed.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Crisp, high-definition vision across all distances.
- Improved night and low-light clarity.
- Minimal dryness or discomfort compared to laser ablation surgeries.
- Stable long-term results with reversible flexibility.
Longevity
All-Laser ICL Vision System delivers permanent correction with stable clarity for 15–20 years or more.
The implanted lens can be removed or replaced if vision needs evolve, maintaining long-term adaptability.
Korean ophthalmic outcomes show over 98% patient satisfaction, with exceptional clarity and comfort.
