Samsung Miracle, an ICL Reference Doctor-Certified Ophthalmology Clinic

Research Activities on ICL Implantation

Introducing the history of Samsung Miracle ICL implantation.

EST. 2005

Since the Introduction of ICL Surgery in Korea:
From 2005 to the present, Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic has been part of the ongoing history and advancement of implantable lens surgery.

CASE 10,000+ cases

With over 10,000 ICL surgeries performed, Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic has accumulated decades of experience, extensive data, and unparalleled surgical expertise.

Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic — Certified ICL Reference Doctor

Samsung Miracle’s expertise in Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is recognized worldwide.

An ICL Reference Doctor is an officially certified surgeon personally selected and awarded by STAAR Surgical, the developer of the ICL, based on surgical outcomes and technical proficiency.
At Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic, all ICL procedures are performed directly by an ICL Reference Doctor, ensuring exceptional safety and superior visual quality.


Samsung Miracle’s safer and more accurate ICL lens implantation surgery

has been developed building on decades of accumulated data, and through continuous research and development.

Research Activity 01

A quick surgery time of only 2 minutes, reducing the risk of side effects.

Samsung Miracle Astigmatism Correction Lens Implant

The longer the surgical site is exposed internally, the greater the risk of side effects. Samsung Miracle, with its long-standing expertise, has developed surgical techniques that reduce eye strain and prevent side effects, completing both standard ICL and astigmatism-correcting lens implantation in approximately two minutes.

Research Activity 02

Same-day surgery for both eyes for higher surgical satisfaction.

Examination and treatment, same-day bilateral surgery

Post-operative follow-up

Minimum of 2 visits, 2 days required

Unlike conventional intraocular lens implantation surgeries that only perform surgery on one eye in a single day, Samsung Miracle has designed a system that allows surgery on both eyes on the same day, reducing the inconvenience of having to visit the hospital again, and increasing satisfaction with the surgery by reducing the burden of the surgery, shortening the surgery time, and speeding up vision recovery.

Research Activity 03

Accurate astigmatism angle measurement to minimize eye discomfort after surgery.

Callisto Eye, a high-level astigmatism measurement device

Samsung Miracle has a navigation-based astigmatism surgical device that tracks the eye in real time and provides guidelines to minimize errors. The IOLMaster 700 laser ophthalmometer used at our hospital, coupled with the Forum Network, a high-performance surgical microscope and LUMERA 700 image transmission device, enables precise anterior capsulorhexis incision and astigmatism correction during lens insertion.

Precise lens insertion tailored to the axis of astigmatism, without allowing even the slightest error

If the astigmatic axis is inserted with even a slight misalignment, vision will not be accurately corrected, causing dizziness and residual astigmatism. Samsung Miracle does not terminate the surgery if there is a misalignment. The surgery is completed only when the astigmatic axis is precisely aligned, without any error.

After measuring the exact angle, an incision is made and a custom lens is inserted.
Accurate astigmatism correction 
by capturing even the finest angles

Research Activity 04

Lens insertion with a margin of error of 0.1%, and the technology to deal with potential problems after lens insertion.

Precise Lens Insertion Matched to the Actual Intraocular Size

A lens smaller than the standard size may contact the crystalline lens, leading to cataract formation, while an oversized lens may touch the iris, increasing the risk of glaucoma. Therefore, it is essential to accurately measure intraocular depth and lens placement position to insert the lens safely without causing damage to the cornea or crystalline lens.

The Ability to Handle Unexpected Situations — More Important Than Surgical Skill Alone

In ICL surgery, while the skill of inserting the lens is crucial, complications can arise during lens removal — such as dropping the lens or causing damage to the cornea or crystalline lens.
Therefore, the ability to safely remove the lens and manage any issues that occur is just as important as the surgical technique itself.
With decades of accumulated surgical experience and extensive case data, Samsung Miracle can anticipate a wide range of variables and respond flexibly and effectively to unexpected situations.
