Treatment Overview
Night Vision ICL Plus in Korea represents the latest advancement in implantable lens technology, developed to deliver exceptional clarity, comfort, and optimized visual performance under all lighting conditions—especially at night. Using an enhanced EVO+ Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) platform with Night Vision Optimization Technology, this procedure provides superior low-light contrast and glare reduction while maintaining the eye’s natural optical integrity.
Unlike LASIK or SMILE, which permanently reshape the cornea, the Night Vision ICL Plus procedure corrects refractive errors internally by placing a biocompatible Collamer lens behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. This internal correction preserves the corneal surface, minimizing dry-eye risk and enhancing optical precision in dark environments.
Korean ophthalmology centers are world leaders in ICL innovation, integrating AI-guided biometric planning, 3D vault optimization, and wavefront-guided optics to achieve unmatched night-time vision quality, clarity, and long-term stability.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism with advanced ICL technology.
- Enhance night-time and low-light vision clarity through specialized optical design.
- Preserve the cornea and tear film for natural, comfortable vision.
- Deliver a reversible, stable, and safe alternative to corneal laser surgery.
Benefits
- Enhanced Night Vision: Reduces glare, halos, and star-bursts in low-light conditions.
- High-Definition Contrast: Improved sharpness and detail recognition in dark environments.
- Corneal Preservation: No cutting or tissue removal.
- Dry-Eye Protection: Maintains natural tear balance and surface sensitivity.
- Rapid Recovery: Clear, functional vision restored within 24 hours.
- Reversible & Upgradeable: Lens can be adjusted or replaced as needed.
- Long-Term Stability: Consistent vision quality with minimal regression.
Ideal Candidates
Night Vision ICL Plus in Korea is ideal for:
- Adults aged 18 or older with a stable prescription for at least one year.
- Patients with moderate to severe refractive errors, particularly night-vision difficulties.
- Individuals with thin corneas or dry eyes who cannot undergo LASIK or SMILE.
- Professionals, night-time drivers, or athletes needing high-contrast, glare-free vision.
- Those seeking long-lasting, natural vision with superior low-light performance.
Possible Risks & Complications
Although Night Vision ICL Plus is highly safe, minor and temporary side effects may occur:
- Light Sensitivity: Common during early adaptation; subsides quickly.
- Halos or Glare: Mild in early healing and fade as the eyes stabilize.
- Pressure Variations: Rare and monitored closely during follow-up.
- Inflammation: Easily managed with medicated drops.
- Vault Adjustment: Occasionally required for perfect spacing.
Korean surgeons utilize AI-driven vault prediction, 3D intraoperative imaging, and precision laser alignment to minimize risks and ensure optimal lens positioning.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- Night Vision Plus Optical Design: Tailored optics reduce halos and improve contrast in dim light.
- EVO+ Collamer Lens Platform: Soft, flexible, and biocompatible material compatible with natural vision.
- AI Biometric Planning: Custom lens parameters based on corneal curvature, chamber depth, and pupil size.
- Femtosecond Laser Micro-Incision: Bladeless entry technique that promotes faster healing.
- 3D Vault & Axis Tracking: Real-time imaging ensures precise lens spacing and alignment.
- Wavefront-Guided Aberration Control: Eliminates higher-order optical distortions for sharp low-light vision.
- Oxygen-Enhanced Recovery: Supports fast, stable healing post-operation.
Korean eye centers combine AI diagnostics, laser precision, and optical refinement technologies to deliver unmatched night-vision performance.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Eye Evaluation:
Includes corneal topography, anterior chamber depth, pupil analysis, and wavefront mapping. - Customized Lens Design:
AI software personalizes the ICL according to each patient’s optical fingerprint and night-vision profile. - Laser Micro-Incision:
A femtosecond laser forms a small, self-healing entry point for implantation. - Lens Implantation:
The Collamer lens is inserted behind the iris and precisely centered for maximum optical quality. - Vault & Axis Verification:
Real-time 3D imaging confirms correct alignment and spacing. - Post-Operative Review:
The surgeon evaluates visual clarity, intraocular pressure, and night-vision performance before discharge.
Procedure Duration: 20–30 minutes per eye
Recovery: Most patients achieve clear vision within 24–48 hours.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Use prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops as directed.
- Avoid rubbing or pressing the eyes for one week.
- Refrain from swimming, saunas, or intense workouts for two weeks.
- Wear sunglasses outdoors to minimize glare and UV exposure.
- Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor night-vision stability and lens alignment.
Recovery Timeline
- Day 1–2: Clear functional vision; mild sensitivity possible.
- Week 1: Vision stabilizes; reduced glare and improved night clarity.
- Weeks 2–4: Enhanced depth, contrast, and color perception.
- 1–3 Months: Full adaptation and optimized night-vision achieved.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Clear, stable vision with excellent night and low-light performance.
- Reduced halos, glare, and visual distortion.
- Sharper contrast and improved depth perception.
- Long-term ocular comfort and natural optical clarity.
Longevity
Night Vision ICL Plus provides lasting correction for 15–20 years or more, depending on individual eye health.
The lens is biocompatible, reversible, and upgradeable, allowing flexibility for future visual needs.
Clinical outcomes from Korean centers show over 99% patient satisfaction, especially for improved night-vision performance and optical comfort.
