ICL Enhancement (Re-correction)

A more precise choice than the first

After vision correction surgery, there are cases where vision regresses or
residual refractive errors remain.

What is important here is not simply performing surgery again, but
re-evaluating the entire eye structure
based on analysis and judgment more precise than the initial surgery.

ICL enhancement is a high-difficulty surgical solution
that requires a meticulous analysis of corneal changes and eye structure after previous surgery

to select the safest and most cautious correction
path.

The Most Important Criteria for ICL Enhancement

After a vision correction surgery is performed once, the internal structures and spaces of the eye can undergo
subtle changes.
Therefore, since the ocular environment for re-correction differs from the first surgery,
results may vary from previous outcomes.

In such cases, complex factors like residual myopia/astigmatism, vision loss, and corneal abnormalities may be
intertwined,
making simple re-surgery an inadequate solution.

ICL Enhancement is required for the following cases:

When the central cornea becomes thin or excessively flat after laser correction.
When the residual corneal thickness is insufficient for further ablation (cutting).
When corneal surface irregularities or severe dry eye syndrome make laser surgery burdensome.
When structural changes such as corneal flap displacement are observed and conservative treatment is needed.

The Safest Alternative for Altered Eyes

Why ICL Re-correction is Needed After Regression

Corneal Preservation

Vision correction without additional
ablation on the altered cornea.

Prevention of Recurrence

Minimizing the risk of
vision regression and recurrence.

Reduction of Side Effects

Lowering the burden of post-operative
complications such as epithelial ingrowth.

Prevention of Haze

Significantly lower possibility of
corneal opacity (haze) occurring.

Relief of Dry Eye

Minimizing corneal nerve damage to
eliminate the burden of dry eye syndrome.

Prevention of Complications

Reducing the risk of serious
corneal complications such as Keratoconus.
