Treatment Overview
ICL Advanced Vision Plus in Korea is the next evolution in implantable lens-based vision correction, offering patients exceptional clarity, comfort, and safety through the use of EVO+ Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) technology. This premium vision care solution is designed for individuals seeking high-definition, long-term visual performance without altering the cornea.
Unlike LASIK or SMILE, which permanently reshape the cornea, the ICL Advanced Vision Plus procedure involves implanting a Collamer lens — a soft, biocompatible material — behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. This internal correction ensures crisp, stable vision while preserving natural ocular integrity.
Korea is recognized worldwide for advancing ICL precision technology, integrating AI-driven diagnostics, femtosecond laser accuracy, and 3D vault alignment systems to provide exceptional results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism with advanced Collamer lens implantation.
- Deliver high-definition vision and enhanced depth perception.
- Preserve corneal structure for patients unsuitable for laser surgery.
- Offer reversible, long-lasting vision correction with minimal recovery time.
Benefits
- Ultra-Sharp Clarity: Enhanced contrast and color precision for natural vision quality.
- Corneal Preservation: No cutting or tissue removal.
- Fast Recovery: Clear, functional vision typically restored within 24 hours.
- Reversible Procedure: The lens can be removed or replaced if needed.
- Night Vision Enhancement: Reduces glare and halos under low light conditions.
- UV Protection: Built-in filtering to protect against harmful ultraviolet light.
Ideal Candidates
ICL Advanced Vision Plus in Korea is ideal for:
- Adults aged 18 or older with a stable prescription for at least one year.
- Individuals with moderate to high myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
- Patients with thin corneas or dry eyes unsuitable for LASIK or SMILE.
- Those seeking long-term, high-performance vision correction.
- Individuals who value safety, precision, and reversibility.
Possible Risks & Complications
Although ICL Advanced Vision Plus is among the safest procedures, some mild and temporary effects may occur:
- Light Sensitivity or Halos: Typically fade as the eyes adapt.
- Pressure Changes: Managed through follow-up care and medication.
- Mild Inflammation: Temporary and easily treated with medicated drops.
- Lens Vault Adjustment: Rarely required for spacing optimization.
- Minor Glare or Fluctuations: Common during the first few weeks of healing.
Korean clinics minimize risks using AI-based vault prediction, intraoperative imaging, and femtosecond laser precision to ensure perfect alignment and balance.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- EVO+ Collamer Lens Technology: Advanced biocompatible lens designed for clear, stable optical correction.
- AI Biometric Planning: Customized based on corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth, and refractive profile.
- Femtosecond Laser Micro-Incision: Creates a smooth, self-healing entry point with extreme precision.
- 3D Vault & Position Mapping: Monitors the exact distance between the ICL and the natural lens.
- Wavefront-Guided Optical Optimization: Corrects higher-order aberrations for clearer vision.
- Oxygen-Enhanced Regenerative Therapy: Promotes faster healing and reduces inflammation.
Korean eye centers use EVO+ ICL systems integrated with AI-guided imaging and multi-axis laser calibration to ensure superior vision outcomes.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Eye Examination:
Includes wavefront mapping, corneal topography, and anterior chamber imaging. - AI Lens Customization:
A personalized ICL is designed using biometric and optical data unique to the patient’s eyes. - Laser Micro-Incision Creation:
A femtosecond laser creates a minimally invasive incision for the lens insertion. - Lens Implantation:
The Collamer lens is folded, inserted behind the iris, and positioned precisely. - Vault & Alignment Verification:
Real-time 3D imaging confirms ideal spacing and optical performance. - Post-Operative Review:
The surgeon ensures comfort, stability, and clarity before the patient is discharged.
Procedure Duration: 20–30 minutes per eye
Recovery: Most patients regain clear vision within 24–48 hours.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Use prescribed eye drops for inflammation and infection prevention.
- Avoid rubbing or touching the eyes for one week.
- Refrain from swimming, saunas, or vigorous activity for two weeks.
- Wear sunglasses outdoors to protect against glare.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up visits to monitor lens alignment and eye health.
Recovery Timeline
- Day 1–2: Clear vision achieved; mild light sensitivity may occur.
- Week 1: Visual stability improves; most normal activities resumed.
- Weeks 2–4: Enhanced sharpness and comfort as the eyes fully adapt.
- 1–3 Months: Long-term stabilization and optimal clarity achieved.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Crisp, high-definition vision with exceptional depth and contrast.
- Minimal visual distortion, glare, or dryness.
- Stable long-term optical performance under various lighting conditions.
- Enhanced visual comfort and natural color perception.
Longevity
ICL Advanced Vision Plus provides long-lasting correction for 15–20 years or more, depending on the patient’s visual stability and ocular health.
The lens is biocompatible and reversible, allowing safe upgrades if prescriptions change.
Clinical outcomes from Korean eye centers show over 99% patient satisfaction, with sustained clarity and comfort.
