Considering presbyopia surgery even without cataracts?

Restore clear vision with a biocompatible collamer lens, without damaging your natural lens.

Are you experiencing any of these discomforts?

  • Text up close is hard to read, so you keep increasing your smartphone's font size.

  • You're nearsighted and wear glasses, but now you have to take them off to read up close.

  • You want to correct presbyopia, but surgery that removes the natural lens feels like too much.

  • You have dry eye syndrome and worry about laser procedures like LASIK or LASEK.

If even one applies to you, find out whether VIVA ICL is right for you.

What is VIVA ICL?

VIVA ICL preserves your cornea and natural lens as they are, inserting a special lens behind the iris

to provide continuous vision from far to near — a presbyopia-correcting procedure.

It provides natural, continuous vision from near to intermediate to far distances.

The Difference at Dr.ICL

The difference in VIVA ICL results starts with medical experience and a precise diagnostic system

  • 01. ICL-Focused Practice

    Extensive VIVA ICL Clinical Experience & Expertise

    Standard formulas struggle to account for axial length variation.

    We apply a calculation method dedicated to high myopia

    to bring the target refraction error close to zero.

  • 02. Ultra-Precise 3D Exam System

    Precise Analysis from Eligibility
    to Safety

    High myopia means a thinner retina, more sensitive to glare.

    We recommend premium lenses tailored to your traits

    to minimize astigmatism correction and nighttime glare.

  • 03. Systematic Care
    That Continues After Surgery

    Aftercare System Committed
    to Lifelong Eye Health

    Believing surgery is a beginning, not an end, we provide

    regular vision exams, lens position checks, and eye health screenings

    to continuously manage your long-term eye health.
