Treatment Overview
JungAng Refractive Lens System (RLE) in Korea is an advanced, next-generation lens replacement procedure that restores clear, sharp, and natural vision by replacing the eye’s natural lens with a high-performance intraocular lens (IOL). It effectively corrects myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia — while also preventing future cataract formation.
Unlike laser vision correction methods such as LASIK, SMILE, or PRK, which reshape the corneal surface, JungAng Refractive Lens System enhances vision internally through precision lens replacement. This ensures permanent clarity, stable refraction, and freedom from glasses or contact lenses.
Korean ophthalmology centers performing this procedure use AI-calibrated biometric analysis, femtosecond laser-assisted lens exchange, and advanced multifocal or EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) lens technology to deliver unmatched precision, comfort, and long-term results.
JungAng Refractive Lens System in Korea is ideal for patients seeking a permanent, technologically advanced vision correction solution rooted in Korean medical excellence.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
- Provide a permanent vision correction solution for patients unsuitable for corneal laser surgery.
- Prevent cataracts by replacing the natural aging lens.
- Achieve multifocal and natural vision through state-of-the-art IOL optics.
Benefits
- Permanent Vision Correction: Delivers lifelong clarity and prevents cataract formation.
- AI-Guided Precision: Ensures perfect lens selection, power, and placement.
- Cornea-Safe Technique: No reshaping or tissue alteration required.
- Comfortable Recovery: Minimal discomfort and rapid improvement in visual function.
- Multifocal & EDOF Clarity: Seamless focus from near to far distances.
- Long-Term Stability: Consistent, stable vision for decades without regression.
Ideal Candidates
JungAng Refractive Lens System in Korea is suitable for:
- Adults aged 40 and older with presbyopia or age-related lens changes.
- Patients who are not eligible for LASIK, SMILE, or PRK due to thin or irregular corneas.
- Individuals seeking permanent correction and freedom from glasses or contacts.
- Those wishing to prevent cataracts and maintain lifelong visual clarity.
- Professionals or active individuals who rely on sharp, stable vision.
Possible Risks & Complications
JungAng Refractive Lens System is a highly safe and advanced procedure, but mild, temporary side effects may occur during recovery:
- Light Halos or Glare: Common in the early healing phase; subsides with adaptation.
- Mild Dryness or Irritation: Managed easily with lubricating drops.
- Inflammation: Controlled with prescribed anti-inflammatory medications.
- Temporary Blurriness: Normal during the healing process; stabilizes within weeks.
- Minor Optical Adjustments: Rarely required for enhanced visual accuracy.
Korean surgeons minimize these effects through AI-assisted surgical planning, femtosecond laser precision, and real-time imaging guidance, ensuring patient safety and surgical accuracy.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Lens Extraction: Provides bladeless, ultra-precise removal of the natural lens.
- AI Biometric Analysis: Customizes IOL selection for optimal power, shape, and centration.
- Wavefront-Guided Mapping: Reduces visual aberrations and improves contrast.
- Premium Multifocal & EDOF Lens Technology: Enables clear vision across all distances.
- 3D Intraoperative Imaging: Guarantees accurate alignment and lens placement.
- Regenerative Ocular Healing Therapy: Biologic and oxygen-based treatments support fast, comfortable recovery.
These advanced technologies ensure that JungAng Refractive Lens System delivers superior precision and consistent outcomes for long-term optical health.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Eye Examination:
Detailed biometric, topographic, and wavefront analysis determines lens type and surgical suitability. - AI-Guided Surgical Planning:
Data modeling defines ideal IOL characteristics and alignment for each eye. - Laser-Assisted Lens Removal:
The natural lens is gently fragmented and extracted using femtosecond laser accuracy. - Premium IOL Implantation:
The new multifocal or EDOF lens is implanted and precisely centered using real-time imaging. - Regenerative Recovery Phase:
Biologic and oxygen-enhanced healing treatments accelerate cell regeneration and comfort.
Procedure Duration: 15–20 minutes per eye
Recovery Period: Functional vision within 24–48 hours; full visual stability achieved in 2–4 weeks.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Use prescribed antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and lubricating drops as directed.
- Avoid rubbing or pressing on the eyes for one week.
- Wear UV-protective sunglasses outdoors.
- Refrain from swimming, saunas, or intense physical activities for two weeks.
- Attend all postoperative checkups to ensure proper healing and lens alignment.
Recovery Timeline
- Days 1–3: Mild sensitivity or dryness; vision starts improving noticeably.
- Week 1: Functional, clear vision suitable for daily activities.
- Weeks 2–4: Sharpness and color contrast reach full optimization.
- 1–3 Months: Long-term visual stability and comfort achieved.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Clear, natural vision at all focal distances.
- Sharp contrast and vibrant color perception.
- Complete freedom from glasses or contact lenses.
- Permanent protection from cataract formation.
