Unlike contact lenses, intraocular implants do not sit on the ocular surface, so they typically reduce dryness symptoms caused by tear film disruption.
I chose lens implant surgery after LASIK wasn’t suitable for my eye condition, and had it at Gangnam St. Mary’s One Eye Clinic. The doctors clearly explained that the implanted lens is permanent and stable, without losing clarity over time. They also emphasized that overall vision still depends on factors like the retina, cornea, and natural aging so the surgery corrects current optical issues but doesn’t stop age-related changes in vision.

My mom’s experience with the lens implant has been a total game-changer. She’s officially done with glasses and contacts, and her sight has been perfectly clear since the procedure. The care she received was top-notch throughout the entire process.
I had lens implant surgery because my prescription was very high and unstable. Contacts were no longer comfortable. After surgery, my vision became very consistent, and I haven’t experienced any wear off effect. The lens doesn’t weaken over time. But one real example my doctor gave me was that even people with perfect natural eyes eventually need reading glasses after mid-age. So I see this surgery as removing dependency on external correction, not stopping aging completely.
I’ve had my implants for about two years now. While it’s been a great solution for my vision, I always tell people that complications though rare are still something to be aware of. Staying on top of your eye health with a doctor is a must, even if your sight feels perfect like mine does.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re glad the procedure was well explained and that you had a positive experience. Lens implant surgery offers lasting correction, while vision can still be affected by natural changes over time.
