Treatment Overview
ICL Premium Vision in Korea represents the pinnacle of modern refractive correction — a luxurious, high-precision procedure using the latest generation EVO+ Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) technology. Designed for patients who demand superior vision quality, comfort, and long-term stability, this treatment provides crystal-clear, high-definition eyesight without reshaping the cornea.
Unlike LASIK or SMILE, which permanently alter the cornea, the ICL procedure involves placing a Collamer lens — a soft, biocompatible material — behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. This internal approach preserves corneal integrity, maintains natural hydration, and delivers vivid optical clarity with minimal recovery time.
Korea’s ophthalmology centers are global leaders in premium ICL technology, combining AI-powered lens customization, femtosecond laser micro-incisions, and biologic regenerative aftercare to achieve world-class outcomes.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism with precision.
- Deliver premium-grade visual clarity and contrast sensitivity.
- Preserve corneal tissue for patients unsuitable for laser correction.
- Provide a long-lasting, reversible, and comfortable vision solution.
Benefits
- Exceptional Clarity: Enhanced image sharpness, depth, and true color perception.
- Corneal Preservation: No tissue removal or structural alteration.
- Reversible & Safe: The lens can be removed or replaced if needed.
- Superior Night Vision: Reduces halos, glare, and visual disturbances in dim light.
- Rapid Recovery: Clear vision achieved within 24–48 hours.
- UV Protection: Built-in filtering shields the retina from harmful ultraviolet light.
- Luxury Care Standards: Includes advanced aftercare, biologic healing therapy, and continuous ocular monitoring.
Ideal Candidates
ICL Premium 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, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
- Individuals with thin corneas or dry eyes who cannot undergo LASIK.
- Those who seek long-term visual excellence and premium comfort.
- Professionals or patients who require precise, high-definition vision for work or lifestyle.
Possible Risks & Complications
While ICL Premium Vision is highly safe, some mild and temporary effects may occur:
- Light Sensitivity: Typically fades as the eyes adjust.
- Slight Pressure Variations: Managed with medication and routine checkups.
- Minor Halos or Glare: Temporary during the healing phase.
- Inflammation: Easily controlled with eye drops.
- Lens Vault Adjustment: Rarely needed to perfect spacing.
Korean surgeons use AI-based ocular simulations, intraoperative imaging, and real-time lens tracking to minimize risks and ensure optimal visual outcomes.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- EVO+ Collamer Lens System: Flexible, biocompatible lens engineered for superior optical precision.
- AI Biometric Customization: Tailors lens power, curvature, and size to each patient’s ocular profile.
- Femtosecond Laser Micro-Incision: Creates a smooth, bladeless, and self-healing entry point.

Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Eye Examination:
Includes corneal topography, anterior chamber depth, biometric mapping, and wavefront analysis. - Personalized Lens Design:
AI-driven software generates a customized ICL plan based on each eye’s unique structure. - Laser Micro-Incision:
A femtosecond laser creates a minimally invasive entry for lens placement. - Lens Implantation:
The Collamer lens is folded, inserted behind the iris, and aligned precisely. - Vault & Axis Verification:
Real-time imaging ensures accurate spacing, alignment, and comfort. - Post-Operative Review:
Vision and ocular balance are assessed before discharge.
Procedure Duration: 20–30 minutes per eye
Recovery: Most patients regain clear, stable vision within 24 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.
- Refrain from swimming, saunas, and heavy exercise for 1–2 weeks.
- Wear sunglasses outdoors to minimize light sensitivity.
- Attend scheduled follow-up visits to monitor lens position and clarity.
Recovery Timeline
- Day 1–2: Clear vision achieved; mild sensitivity may occur.
- Week 1: Stable visual clarity and comfort.
- Weeks 2–4: Enhanced contrast and high-definition focus.
- 1–3 Months: Final vision optimization and ocular healing complete.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Sharp, vibrant vision with superior contrast and color depth.
- Reduced dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
- Excellent night vision and glare control.
- Smooth, natural visual transitions for daily activities.
Longevity
ICL Premium Vision provides stable vision correction for 15–20 years or more, with minimal maintenance.
