Toric ICL

Astigmatism-Correcting ICL
Toric ICL
Toric ICL is a premium implantable Collamer lens designed to correct both myopia and astigmatism.
By precisely aligning the Toric axis, Toric ICL provides stable and accurate astigmatism correction while preserving the natural corneal structure.
Because the cornea is not reshaped, Toric ICL is an excellent option for patients who are not suitable candidates for laser vision correction or who seek a reversible, tissue-preserving solution.

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 21 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 16,000 Toric ICL procedures (as of June 2026, 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.
