My brother recently underwent TORIC ICL surgery at SNU Eye Clinic with Dr. Kim Seong Hee, and I wanted to share our experience for anyone considering it. He had been struggling with high astigmatism and wasn’t an ideal candidate for LASIK, which is why TORIC ICL was recommended.
During the consultation, Dr. Kim explained everything clearly—from how the lens would correct both vision and astigmatism to what outcomes he could realistically expect. It made us feel comfortable moving forward.
The procedure itself was surprisingly quick and painless. He was understandably nervous beforehand, but the staff kept him calm throughout. Recovery was smoother than we expected—his vision started improving within a day, and there was only mild discomfort for a short time.
Now, a few weeks later, his vision is sharp and stable, and he no longer depends on glasses. It’s made a noticeable difference in his daily life.
