Reasons for the price difference of lens insertion (compared to proposed)
Those who consider lens insertion are not just people with bad eyesight, but also short-sighted enough to distinguish things without wearing glasses or lenses. Myopia is a refractive abnormality in which the length of the eyeball increases and the image that needs to be attached to the retina is connected before the retina. Most of them are accompanied by astigmatism (a symptom in which objects appear to be blurred at a long distance) and the eyeball surface is not smooth and cannot focus together.
In order to improve these problems, LASIK and LASEK methods that change the refractive index by cutting the corneal surface with a laser are generalized. However, those classified as ultra-high myopia exceeding -9D have a large amount of cornea to shave or relatively thin cornea, making it somewhat difficult to attempt laser correction. Ignoring this and implementing it can cause countless aftereffects and side effects such as corneal dilatation, myopia regression, corneal opacity, and light blurring, so attention should be paid to stability.
There is an alternative to improving vision even if laser methods are difficult. It is a lens insertion technique in which lenses matching each degree are inserted into the eyes. You don’t have to shave off the corneal surface, so there is little nerve damage and little pain, and the probability of side effects is minimized to reduce the burden. In addition, it has the advantage of showing rapid resilience such as improving naked eye vision from the day of surgery and making it easy to return to daily life.Due to the nature of the procedure, satisfactory results can be obtained only when accurate eye space measurement is performed and the method suitable for you is applied. At this time, people with astigmatism should not just grasp the degree of myopia, but consider various problems. The average price of lens insertion surgery ranges from 4 million won to 5 million won. However, there are many factors that can be considered as the reason for the difference.Since eye conditions vary from person to person, customized lenses should be inserted that take into account both eye space, strength, and number of corneal endothelial cells. In addition, the difficulty of surgery is inevitably high because it is less dependent on equipment and relies on the surgeon’s procedures and know-how. In other words, the price of lens insertion can vary depending on the surgical skills and follow-up management system as you have to undergo surgery with experienced and highly skilled medical staff.The technique is divided into forward and backward insertion based on the iris, depending on where it is inserted. It should proceed according to the U.S. FDA standard of 3.2mm forward/3.0mm backward, and due to the characteristics of front lens insertion, there is little possibility that the lens will turn because it is fixed to the iris. So it’s advantageous for people with astigmatism. However, iris incision is required for waterproof flow, but this process may take a recovery period, so it is not often suitable for Asian eye size.Aqua ICL is the most representative surgery for insertion of a rear lens. The lens itself facilitates waterproof flow, eliminating the need for iris incision, and has the convenience of being able to correct both banks on the same day. Ultraviolet rays are minimized and quick recovery is possible, but unlike the front lens, it can return after surgery, so you have to be more careful when deciding the lens size.If astigmatism is considered severe at this time, it is advantageous to apply the following various technologies together. * It is also helpful for experienced medical staff to check where they can perform three methods of using toric types that can correct improvement* refractive abnormalities at the same time through surface axis incision during the procedure stage.If you come to the hospital for surgery, we conduct about 50 detailed examinations and make accurate diagnoses through them. We determine whether surgery is possible, select subjects, and accurately measure the space in the eyes using advanced precision diagnostic equipment at a large hospital to determine the size and degree of the lens. Lastly, surgery is also important, and as postoperative management can affect your vision for the rest of your life, we help you with systematic after-care services so that you don’t regret your choice.Lens insertion surgery is very important to have extensive clinical experience from ophthalmologists who have expertise in the eyeball and retina and have continuously studied it. We promise safe surgery to minimize infection and complications through data accumulated based on more than 10 years of experience. Rather than looking for a place where the price of lens insertion is 100,000 won to 200,000 won cheaper, focus on whether it can stably improve your vision and store endothelial cells to achieve safe results.Previous Image Next ImagePrevious Image Next ImagePrevious Image Next Image
