I’m sharing my brother’s experience with TORIC ICL at SNU Eye Clinic, as I know many people with high astigmatism may be curious about what the process is actually like. He had been dependent on glasses for years and wanted a vision correction option that would suit his prescription, especially because of his astigmatism.
During the consultation, Dr. Chung Eui Sang checked his eyes carefully and discussed his prescription, corneal condition, and whether TORIC ICL was appropriate for him. The detailed examination helped him understand why this lens option was being considered and what to realistically expect.
The procedure itself was quicker than he had imagined. He was awake, but the eye was numbed, and the lens was placed inside the eye through a small incision. He experienced some discomfort and blurry vision immediately afterward, but this improved as his eyes recovered.
Over the following days, his vision became clearer, and he was able to return to his normal routine gradually. He was happy with the improvement and especially appreciated being less dependent on glasses. Overall, the experience was positive, but I’d recommend having a detailed consultation to understand whether TORIC ICL is suitable for your eyes.
