Gangnam Dr.ICL Eye Clinic - ICL Lens Implantation, Implantable Contact Lens

Beyond thick glasses,
your retinal health is our concern.

Lifelong management beyond simple vision correction
High Myopia Total Care Solution

Ultra-high myopia patients
ultimately choose Doctor ICL's 'specialness' for a reason

Normal Eye (Normal spherical eyeball)

(Ultra-)High Myopia (Elongated eyeball)

High myopia is not simply a state of poor vision.
The eye becomes structurally weakened,
a condition requiring lifelong careful monitoring
.
That is why Doctor ICL manages not only before and after lens implantation, but also lifelong potential complications.

Elongated eyeball, thinned tissues...
Causes of complications.

Glaucoma

Increased risk of optic nerve damage as the eyeball elongates

Retina

Risk of holes or detachment as the retina thins

Cataract

Earlier cataracts than average due to structural weakening

Doctor ICL understands the patient's eyes best.

We manage not only vision correction but also lifelong potential
complications.
From lens implantation to cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal diseases.
We will be your
'lifelong trusted eye doctor'.

Standard examinations alone are not sufficient for high myopia eyes.

Doctor ICL's precise examinations that consider optic nerve changes

Stretched optic nerve requires
more detailed monitoring.

Glaucoma in high myopia patients
is much more difficult to identify than usual.
Doctor ICL clearly identifies these subtle differences.

STEP 1

Eye Elongation

Axial length increases

STEP 2

Optic Nerve Deformation

Optic nerve gets stretched

STEP 3

Optic Nerve Vulnerability

Damage risk even at normal eye pressure

High myopia often causes the optic nerve shape itself to be
deformed,
making it difficult to detect glaucomatous damage
with standard examinations.

Is it a change from myopia,
or damage from glaucoma?

Doctor ICL clearly distinguishes through
precise analysis and cross-verification.

Structural Analysis

Detecting subtle thickness changes

Precisely analyzes the thickness of the optic disc, retinal nerve, and fiber layer.

Functional Verification

Confirming actual visual field damage

Double-checks structural abnormalities and functional damage through visual field testing.

From identifying vulnerabilities before surgery to preemptive defense after surgery

Before lens implantation, we identify optic nerve vulnerabilities in advance,
and continue regular eye pressure checks and optic nerve monitoring after surgery.

Lifelong management beyond simple vision correction
High Myopia Total Care Solution

Thorough coverage of invisible areas —
Ultra-Dense Barrier Laser

Retinal detachment prevention — the difference is in 'density'.

Standard Laser

Doctor ICL Laser

Doctor ICL's 'Ultra-Dense Barrier Laser'
forms a seamless defense even in invisible areas.

Finding the
'hidden 20%' that standard exams cannot reach.

Standard Fundus Imaging

Cannot detect peripheral diseases

Deep-Scan

Detects peripheral tears/degeneration

For high myopia with high retinal detachment risk, problems always hide in the 'periphery'.
We scan even invisible blind spots with university hospital-grade wide-angle equipment.

Doctor ICL
Ultra-Dense Laser
3 Safety Standards

01Zero-Gap Targeting

Captures weakened areas such as retinal tears and lattice degeneration
with 3-4 layers of surrounding coverage.

02High-Density Barrier

Applies laser at much higher density than standard dosage
to physically block disease spread.

03Long-term Retical Guard

Before lens implantation, firmly secures vulnerable retinal areas
to preemptively block potential retinal disease at the same site
and create a safe surgical environment.

Cataract surgery —
vision recovery is a given.

For high myopia, 'lifelong safety' must also be planned.
Doctor ICL considers the safety of the retina and optic nerve for decades after surgery.

For high myopia with elongated eyeballs,
standard calculation methods are insufficient.

The eyeball of high myopia,
abnormally elongated to focus.
This structural change dramatically increases
the difficulty of measuring power during cataract surgery.

Elongated Eyeball

Requires specialized design optimized for the structure

Differentiated Surgery

A completely different approach from standard cataract surgery

Error-Free Results

Overcome with Doctor ICL's exclusive power calculation method

The risk of post-surgical vision error
caused by elongated axial length —
Resolved with Doctor ICL's precise data technology.

Accuracy (Calculation)

POINT 01. Precise Power Calculation

The longer the eye, the greater the potential error.

Standard formulas cannot accommodate axial length variables.

We apply high myopia-specific IOL Calculation to bring target vision error close to zero.

Lens Selection (Selection)

POINT 02. Custom Lens Matching

The optimal selection guide for sensitive eyes

High myopia eyes are sensitive to light scatter due to thin retinas.
We recommend premium lenses that minimize astigmatism correction and nighttime glare, tailored to individual characteristics.

Safety (Safety)

POINT 03. Low-Stimulation Technique

Advanced low-stimulation protocol to compensate for insufficient tissue durability

High myopia eyes have weak structures supporting the lens, making them susceptible to damage from even small pressure changes during surgery.

Doctor ICL minimizes the burden on the capsular bag and supporting tissues with precise low-stimulation surgical techniques, reducing the risk of unexpected damage and secondary complications.

High myopia surgery is not about
more correction, but
safer standards
that matter.

Doctor ICL prioritizes corneal preservation
and individual structural stability

For high myopia, rather than
'reshaping' the cornea, we must
'preserve' it.

Standard LASIK/LASEK (Corneal Ablation)

Structural Deformation

Doctor ICL (Corneal Preservation)

Structural Preservation

The first condition for safe vision correction is 'preservation'.
Doctor ICL does not damage your cornea by even one micron.

We don't operate unconditionally.
Structural stability is confirmed first,
then surgery proceeds.

STEP 1

Space Analysis

Space analysis with 0.001mm accuracy
STEP 2

Foundation Reinforcement

Retina/glaucoma pre-treatment
STEP 3

Precision Insertion

1:1 customized lens placement

We thoroughly analyze the space for the lens,
reinforce the weakened retina first, then proceed with surgery.

Doctor ICL insists only on 'world-class standards'.

[ 3 KEY FEATURES ]

POINT 01

No Iridotomy Required

Facilitates aqueous flow to prevent glaucoma complications

POINT 02

Biocompatible Material

Special material the body doesn't reject — zero inflammation/foreign body sensation

POINT 03

Simultaneous Astigmatism Correction

Clearly resolves even high astigmatism with a single lens

Surgery ends in 15 minutes, but data is recorded for a lifetime.

Spectralis OCT
High-resolution anterior segment CT scanner

Spectralis OCT precisely images the retina and choroid layer by layer to identify structural changes.

Repeated imaging of the same area enables accurate comparison with previous exams, with even subtle changes tracked in accumulated data.

This examination is used for early detection and long-term follow-up of optic nerve and retinal diseases including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal disorders.

TOMEY CASIA2
High-resolution anterior segment CT scanner

TOMEY CASIA2 captures the anterior segment with high-resolution OCT to precisely examine the cornea, lens, and anterior chamber structure.

Records the anterior segment structure in a non-contact manner during examination, creating objective data for structural changes before and after lens implantation.

The acquired anterior segment data is used for pre-surgical baseline setting as well as post-surgical structural stability comparison and follow-up.

OPTOS-Daytona
Non-mydriatic ultra-widefield fundus camera

Captures 200 degrees (approximately 80%) of the entire retina without dilation, enabling rapid examination of central and peripheral retina.

Enables early diagnosis of previously undetected peripheral retinal diseases (retinal tears, degeneration, etc.).

As a non-mydriatic device, there is no waiting time for dilation, and normal activities are possible immediately after examination.

Doctor ICL's Data-Based Lifelong Management System
[Precise Recording]After lens implantation, we regularly compare and analyze not only visual acuity but also optic nerve and retinal structure.
[Progress Tracking]Even subtle structural changes related to glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal diseases are cumulatively managed as data.
[Early Prevention]When data changes are detected, our medical team is the first to confirm and establish a management plan to block the top 3 blinding diseases early.
