Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) at B and VIIT Eye Center
PIOL or, Phakic intraocular lens, is a modern vision correction surgery technique that was developed for patients who are not good candiates for laser surgery, like LASEK, LASIK, or SMILE. PIOL is an implantable lens in the eye. You can almost think of it as having your contacts surgically and permanently implanted into your eyes.
As with all vision correction surgeries you will need to undergo a thorough eye examination first. The reason for this is that some patients may be better suited to get LASEK, LASIK, or maybe even SMILE. And this can only be determined after undergoing the eye examination which is then studied by an ophthalmologist in order to make a recommendation.
Once the eye examination is complete, the doctor might recommend PIOL as your best opion. This is usually the case for patients who cannot undergo laser eye surgery due to extremely high myopia or astigmatism, individuals with very thin corneas maybe even people who might be scared of laser eye surgery (even though it is ABSOLUTELY safe).
Before surgery, the doctor will use numbing eye drops which will reduce any discomfort you might beel during the procedure. Drops are also used to dialate the pupil. Once your eyes are ready, you will lie down on your back and the ophthalmologist will begin the implantation process. The lens can be implanted either just in front of or just behind the pupil. This is determined by the doctor before the procedure. The PIOL lens is rolled up and inserted into the eye. Once it is inserted, the ophthalmologist will move it around to make sure it is in the correct position. The entire process take around 30 minutes for both eyes and will be over before you even know it. Usually vision improves immediately after the procedure.

An implantable contact lens (ICL) is a special contact lens that is implanted inside the eye and works with the eye’s natural lens. Unlike regular contact lenses, ICL does not need frequent removal. It can correct a wide range of vision errors, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. ICL is made from a material called Collamer, which is safe to stay in the eye for a long period of time.
The lens can be customized according to the patient’s eye shape and size, and it can be removed if your prescription does change over time. ICL is a possible solution for people who are not ideal to undergo LASIK or those who do not like the idea of permanently removing their corneal tissue.
What's the Recovery Time for Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Procedures in Seoul?
The recovery time after ICL is relatively short. While your eye will be completely healed within a month or two, you should see the result within 24 hours. It is recommended that you take at least 5 to 7 days off work and avoid any vigorous activity. Your surgeon will discuss the recovery timeline in detail with you.
Despite the surgery being fairly swift, typically lasting less than half an hour for both eyes, the post-surgery phase holds significant importance for complete healing. Routine check-ups post-procedure are essential to track the healing progression and ascertain ideal outcomes. A rigorous care routine post-surgery is crucial to expedite recuperation.
What's the Success Rate of Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Procedures in Seoul?
Before being placed on the market, ICL was subject to extensive research and development. Today, it is an effective, safe, and highly successful procedure, with about 99% of patients who had it claimed to be satisfied with their implants.
Multiple scientific research and testimonials shared by patients accentuate the effectiveness of the Implantable Contact Lens operation, as the majority of patients reach at least 20/40 vision, which is a common legal requirement for driving. Moreover, this operation is recognized for its high safety standards, coupled with a minuscule complication rate.
However, similar to all medical interventions, the results of the Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) can fluctuate amongst different individuals. This can be due to several contributors such as the refractive error magnitude, the total eye health of the patient, and the adherence to post-operation guidelines. It is worth acknowledging that although the Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) has demonstrated significant effectiveness, it doesn’t act as a deterrent against age-oriented eye disorders such as cataracts or macular degeneration.
