Treatment Overview
Hanmi Multifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation in Korea is a premium cataract and refractive procedure that provides clear, natural vision at all distances—near, intermediate, and far. Developed with advanced Korean optical engineering, Hanmi Multifocal IOLs are designed to deliver high visual precision, reduced halos and glare, and exceptional long-term clarity.
These premium lenses use multifocal diffractive-refractive optics to distribute light efficiently across all focal ranges, restoring seamless vision for daily activities such as reading, computer use, and driving. Korean ophthalmology centers combine AI-guided biometry, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), and digital centration systems to ensure perfect IOL positioning, stability, and alignment—offering outstanding results and patient satisfaction.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Replace the natural or cataract-affected lens with a premium multifocal IOL to restore full-range vision.
- Correct presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia, and mild astigmatism.
- Provide clear and continuous vision without the need for bifocals or progressive glasses.
- Deliver stable, high-quality optical performance suitable for all lighting conditions.
Benefits
- Full-Range Vision: Crisp focus for near, intermediate, and distance tasks.
- Natural Visual Transition: Smooth optical performance without noticeable image jumps.
- High Contrast Sensitivity: Clear, sharp vision even in low-light or night settings.
- Reduced Halos & Glare: Advanced optical design minimizes common multifocal artifacts.
- Long-Term Stability: Excellent centration and resistance to rotation.
- Spectacle Independence: Most patients achieve freedom from glasses for everyday activities.
Ideal Candidates
Hanmi Multifocal IOL Implantation in Korea is ideal for:
- Cataract patients seeking complete visual restoration at all distances.
- Adults aged 40 years or older with presbyopia wanting spectacle-free vision.
- Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) candidates seeking permanent correction of refractive errors.
- Patients with healthy corneas, normal retinal function, and stable ocular anatomy.
- Individuals motivated for premium vision and rapid adaptation to multifocal optics.
Possible Risks & Complications
While the procedure is highly safe, some temporary side effects may occur:
- Halos or glare: Usually mild and decrease as neural adaptation occurs.
- Dry eyes or irritation: Common during early recovery and easily treated with lubricating drops.
- Residual refractive error: Rare; can be corrected with laser enhancement if needed.
- Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO): Can develop months or years later; treated quickly with YAG laser.
- Temporary blurred vision: Normal during early healing as the eyes adjust to multifocal optics.
Korean ophthalmologists use AI-based surgical planning, digital centration tracking, and OCT-guided verification to minimize risks and ensure precise outcomes.
Surgical Techniques
- AI-Guided Ocular Biometry:
Determines precise IOL power, optical alignment, and centration using advanced corneal and ocular mapping. - Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS):
Creates perfect incisions, lens fragmentation, and capsulotomy for accurate IOL placement. - Digital Centration & Axis Alignment:
Aligns the Hanmi Multifocal IOL with the patient’s visual axis using real-time tracking. - Micro-Incision Phacoemulsification:
Removes the cataract or natural lens through a 2.0 mm incision for minimal trauma and quick healing. - OCT-Guided Intraoperative Imaging:
Confirms exact IOL positioning and stability during implantation. - Wavefront Aberration Control:
Minimizes optical aberrations, ensuring maximum clarity and contrast sensitivity.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1 – Comprehensive Eye Evaluation:
Involves visual acuity testing, corneal topography, axial length measurement, macular OCT, and AI-based IOL simulation for selecting the optimal Hanmi Multifocal IOL.
Step 2 – Surgical Planning:
Customized IOL power calculation and visual target setup for distance, intermediate, or blended focus.
Step 3 – Cataract Extraction or Lens Removal:
Performed using femtosecond laser-assisted or micro-incision phacoemulsification techniques for safety and precision.
Step 4 – IOL Implantation:
The Hanmi Multifocal IOL is carefully folded and inserted into the capsular bag under digital centration guidance.
Step 5 – Postoperative Monitoring:
Follow-up visits ensure stable centration, accurate adaptation, and optimal optical performance.
Treatment Duration: 15–25 minutes per eye
Setting: Outpatient (same-day discharge)
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Use antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops for 2–4 weeks.
- Avoid rubbing eyes, swimming, or strenuous exercise for one week.
- Wear UV-protective sunglasses outdoors.
- Use artificial tears if dryness occurs.
- Attend follow-up visits at Day 1, Week 1, and Month 1 for postoperative evaluation.
Recovery Timeline
- Days 1–3: Noticeably brighter, clearer vision with mild sensitivity.
- Week 1: Distance and intermediate vision stabilize.
- Weeks 2–4: Full range of vision achieved; halos and glare diminish.
- 1–3 Months: Complete neural adaptation and stable visual performance attained.
