For patients seeking a safe, effective alternative to glasses or LASIK, Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery offers a revolutionary solution for correcting moderate to severe vision problems. At THE Plastic Surgery (THE PS) in Seoul, patients can experience expert ICL treatment using the latest technology, personalized care, and a highly experienced surgical team.
If you want freedom from glasses and traditional contact lenses with crisp, natural vision, THE PS’s ICL procedure is an excellent option to consider.
What Is ICL (Implantable Contact Lens)?
ICL is a collamer lens surgically implanted inside the eye, positioned between your natural lens and the iris, to correct vision problems like:
- Moderate to high myopia (nearsightedness)
- Astigmatism
- Hyperopia (farsightedness) in select cases
Unlike LASIK, ICL does not reshape the cornea but works as a permanent internal contact lens, offering sharp vision without removing corneal tissue.

🌟 Ideal for Patients Unsuitable for LASIK
ICL is an excellent alternative for patients with thin corneas, dry eyes, or very high prescriptions that cannot be treated with laser-based procedures.
How Does ICL Surgery Work?
- Preoperative Evaluation:
Comprehensive eye exams and measurements ensure you’re an ideal candidate and help select the perfect lens size and power. - Surgical Procedure:
Performed under local anesthesia, a tiny incision is made in the cornea. The implantable lens is then carefully inserted and positioned behind the iris. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes per eye. - Postoperative Care:
Mild discomfort or blurred vision may occur temporarily. Most patients notice improved vision within 24–48 hours. Regular check-ups monitor healing and lens positioning.
