Toric ICL
Toric ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) corrects both myopia and astigmatism by implanting a customized lens inside the eye.
It is suitable for a wide range of prescriptions, from mild to severe myopia.
Because the cornea is left intact, the procedure offers minimal discomfort and rapid visual recovery.
Minimizing Side Effects with 20 Years of Toric ICL Expertise
Reducing Side Effects Through a Toric ICL Program Refined Over 20 Years.
Because the anatomy of the space behind the iris—where the lens is implanted—varies between individuals, precise lens sizing and accurate positioning are essential for optimal outcomes.
Based on surgical data from over 15,000 Toric ICL procedures (as of August 2024), EOS Eye Center utilizes a proprietary, data-driven program to precisely determine lens size, positioning, and astigmatic axis—significantly improving surgical accuracy and overall success rates.
Using a proprietary algorithm developed from data on over 20,000 clinical cases, we aim to minimize the risk of postoperative complications, including glaucoma and cataract.
Minimal Incision
Using a minimal incision of approximately 2.5 mm, the lens is loaded outside the incision site to minimize unnecessary tissue trauma.
This small-incision approach reduces the risk of surgically induced astigmatism and supports faster, more comfortable postoperative recovery.
Refined Through 20 Years of Clinical Experience
Traditionally, lens implantation required bending each end of the lens individually to position it inside the eye.
With the Turn & Down Technique, the lens is positioned without bending, using controlled rotational movement to guide it smoothly into place with minimal contact.
This refined approach significantly reduces unnecessary tissue interaction and shortens the procedure time to approximately 2–3 minutes.
Precautions!
After surgery, common side effects or complications such as bleeding, swelling, or inflammation may occur. The severity can vary depending on the individual, so careful attention and follow-up are important.
Treatment Benefits
1. Customized lens design and surgery for a wide range of myopia, from mild to ultra-high
2. Simultaneous correction of myopia and astigmatism
3. Suitable even for thin corneas, preserving corneal tissue integrity
4. Effective corrective option after previous SMILE LASIK or LASEK
Recommended For:
CASE 1.
Patients with very thin corneas who are not suitable candidates for LASIK or LASEK
CASE 2.
Patients with high myopia or high astigmatism for whom LASIK or LASEK is not recommended
CASE 3.
Patients with corneal irregularities or prior corneal injuries that make LASIK or LASEK difficult
CASE 4.
Patients seeking vision correction while preserving corneal tissue
CASE 5.
Patients concerned about dry eye symptoms or night glare
Toric ICL correction demands a higher level of precision.
Achieving optimal outcomes requires an experienced, highly skilled surgical team.
Dr. No-Hoon Kwak of Gangnam EOS Eye Center has pioneered and advanced Toric ICL surgery since 2004.
As of May 2024, he has performed over 15,000 Toric ICL procedures and has accumulated experience in approximately 25,000 lens implantation surgeries, including standard ICL cases.
