now leads a
new era with Presbyopia ICL.
EVO Viva ICL: Simultaneous Vision Correction and Presbyopia Solution
Unlike traditional multifocal lens implants that require the removal of the eye’s natural lens
or monovision techniques that correct each eye differently, EVO Viva ICL allows both eyes to see clearly at all distances.
Made of biocompatible Collamer material, EVO Viva ICL preserves the proven advantages
of conventional ICL while offering a safe, clinically-tested solution for presbyopia.
As Korea’s first EVO Viva ICL surgeon, CEO Dr. Jong-Ho Lee shared his extensive experience presenting a wide range of clinical outcomes and surgical insights in complex cases. Drawing from advanced diagnostics and surgical precision, he offered valuable knowledge on advancing clinical research and education in the field of Viva ICL.
2025 KOREA EVO ICL FORUM
Clinical Outcome: Predictability CorrelationSeoul | Busan BGSS Eye Clinic presented a wide range of surgical cases and a Mix & Match strategy combining VIVA ICL and standard ICL procedures. This approach enhances surgical outcomes by providing detailed recommendations for optimal surgical conditions. Through personalized surgical planning and strategic comparisons of various lens types and techniques, we aim to deliver truly tailored vision correction. In addition, we are actively building a presbyopia lens implantation algorithm, grounded in continuous data accumulation and real-time feedback.

Presbyopia ICL Viva is a lens implantation procedure designed for individuals aged 40 and above. It allows for surgery without corneal reshaping, making it suitable for those with thin corneas, high or extreme myopia. This procedure can simultaneously correct presbyopia without the need for cataract surgery.
