Treatment Overview
High Definition ICL Vision in Korea represents a breakthrough in refractive correction using the latest EVO+ Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) technology. This advanced procedure provides ultra-sharp, high-contrast vision that surpasses the clarity of traditional glasses, contact lenses, or corneal laser surgery.
Unlike LASIK or SMILE, which reshape the cornea, ICL surgery involves implanting a flexible, biocompatible lens behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. This allows light to pass through with perfect precision, reducing optical distortion and enhancing detail perception.
Korea’s leading ophthalmology centers have revolutionized the ICL process by integrating AI-based biometric imaging, femtosecond laser-assisted micro-incisions, and 3D optical mapping, ensuring world-class safety, customization, and visual excellence.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism for patients seeking ultra-precise vision correction.
- Deliver high-contrast, detailed vision across varying light and distance conditions.
- Preserve natural corneal structure while improving depth perception.
- Provide a reversible, tissue-preserving alternative to corneal laser procedures.
Benefits
- High-Definition Clarity: Enhanced contrast, depth, and visual sharpness in all lighting conditions.
- Corneal Preservation: No tissue removal or surface alteration required.
- Reversible Procedure: Lens can be removed or replaced at any time.
- Enhanced Night Vision: Reduces halos and glare for clear night-time vision.
- Biocompatible Comfort: The lens naturally integrates with the eye for stable, long-term clarity.
- Rapid Recovery: Clear functional vision typically restored within 24 hours.
Ideal Candidates
High Definition ICL Vision in Korea is ideal for:
- Adults aged 18 or older with a stable prescription for at least one year.
- Patients with moderate to high myopia or astigmatism.
- Individuals with thin corneas or dry eyes unsuitable for LASIK or SMILE.
- Those who desire superior optical quality and natural visual clarity.
- Professionals or athletes requiring precise, stable, and high-performance vision.
Possible Risks & Complications
Although High Definition ICL Vision is highly safe, some temporary side effects may occur:
- Light Sensitivity: Mild glare or halos during the initial adaptation period.
- Pressure Variations: Transient intraocular pressure changes post-surgery.
- Lens Vault Adjustment: Rarely needed to fine-tune lens spacing.
- Inflammation: Minimal and easily managed with eye drops.
- Temporary Vision Fluctuation: Common during early healing, stabilizing within days.
Korean clinics use AI-guided vault optimization, real-time imaging, and femtosecond precision tools to ensure flawless outcomes and minimize complications.

Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Eye Examination:
Includes corneal topography, anterior chamber depth, wavefront mapping, and endothelial cell analysis. - AI-Based Lens Customization:
Lens specifications are personalized using biometric and optical data unique to each patient. - Laser-Assisted Incision:
A femtosecond laser creates a minimally invasive incision for the lens insertion. - Lens Implantation:
The folded ICL is gently positioned behind the iris, ensuring accurate alignment and comfort. - Vault & Position Confirmation:
Real-time imaging ensures optimal spacing between the ICL and the natural lens. - Post-Operative Check:
The surgeon verifies clarity and comfort before patient discharge.
Procedure Duration: 20–30 minutes per eye
Recovery: Most patients achieve functional, sharp vision within 24–48 hours.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Use prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops for 1–2 weeks.
- Avoid touching or rubbing the eyes for one week.
- Wear sunglasses outdoors to reduce light sensitivity.
- Avoid swimming, hot baths, and heavy exercise for 1–2 weeks.
- Attend all follow-up visits to monitor eye pressure and lens stability.
Recovery Timeline
- Day 1–2: Clear vision achieved; mild glare possible.
- Week 1: Stable clarity and minimal dryness.
- Weeks 2–4: Enhanced contrast and visual sharpness.
- 1–3 Months: Final vision refinement and corneal adaptation completed.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Crystal-clear, high-definition vision with sharp contrast and true color perception.
- Minimal visual distortion or glare, even in low-light conditions.
- Stable long-term visual performance without regression.
- Reduced dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Longevity
High Definition ICL Vision provides long-lasting visual stability for 15–20 years or more, with negligible regression and minimal maintenance.
The lens is biocompatible and reversible, ensuring continued comfort and flexibility as visual needs evolve.
Korean long-term data indicates over 99% patient satisfaction, with exceptional clarity and comfort across all age groups.
