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.
Research Activity 01
A quick surgery time of only 2 minutes, reducing the risk of side effects.
Samsung Miracle Standard Lens Implant
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.

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.
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.
