Unlike laser-based vision correction surgeries like LASIK, LASEK, and SMILE LASIK, lens implant surgery preserves the cornea and lens, making it a highly safe procedure. Lens implant surgery can be broadly categorized into anterior chamber lens implantation and posterior chamber lens implantation.

ICL(Lens implant) surgery is a procedure where a transparent lens of a specific power is inserted between the iris and the lens, without cutting the cornea. there have been cases of mild myopic regression and endothelial cell reduction, so it is recommended that individuals who have undergone lens implantation undergo annual eye exams to monitor their eye health.

CL lens implantation is a highly versatile vision correction procedure suitable for a wide range of cases, including extreme high myopia, astigmatism, thin corneas, and large pupils. Its ability to accommodate various eye conditions makes it one of the most optimized vision correction options available.

Even though posterior chamber lens implantation (ICL) has a low risk of endothelial cell loss, it is recommended to have a regular check-up at least once a year to ensure the corneal endothelium remains stable.

Implantable Contact Lens Surgery (ICL) is a vision correction surgery where a lens is inserted into the eye to correct the refractive error. The method of inserting the lens into the eye is divided into anterior implantation, where the lens is placed in front of the iris, and posterior implantation, where the lens is placed behind the iris.

ICL surgery involves inserting a lens into the eye without any corneal damage, allowing for a quicker recovery. However, concerns may arise about the lens breaking or causing an inflammatory response after the surgery. the EVO+ Aqua ICL is made from a collamer material that has been approved by the FDA and is highly biocompatible.

Lens implant surgery is a method of vision correction that involves placing a lens inside the eye to correct refractive errors. The first advantage of lens implantation surgery is the wide range of correction. However, unlike LASIK, LASEK, or SMILE LASIK, lens implantation involves inserting an artificial lens inside the eye, which can lead to complications inside the eye.

Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is a procedure in which a corrective lens is inserted between the iris and the lens of the eye to restore vision. it has a lower risk of side effects like corneal opacity or corneal ectasia. ICL is a suitable vision correction option for those with corneal diseases or those with thin corneas who are unable to undergo LASIK or LASEK surgeries.

In Korea, the average cost of ICL(Lens Implant) is $3313.82. The highest price is $4255.96, while the lowest is $2539.85. (updated on Feb 1, 2025)
