Quick answer
What laser and lens technology does BGSS use?

Platforms
Our main treatment technologies
Each links to a detailed guide.
Bladeless LASIK
Femtosecond flap with planned depth, followed by excimer reshaping.
Wavefront & topography guidance
Laser profiles planned from your eye's aberration and corneal-shape maps.
EVO ICL / V-Toric ICL
Collamer lens placed behind the iris; no corneal tissue removed; toric version for astigmatism.
Clareon PanOptix Pro
Trifocal IOL for cataract and presbyopia, plus EDOF and monofocal options.
LASEK / PRK
Excimer treatment on the corneal surface without a flap, for thinner corneas.
Diagnostics
The measurements that choose the technology
Equipment matters most when it is matched to the right eye.
| Measurement | What it shows | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Corneal tomography / topography | Shape of front and back corneal surfaces | Screens for keratoconus; plans customised laser |
| Pachymetry | Corneal thickness | Determines if flap or lenticule surgery is safe |
| Wavefront aberrometry | Optical errors through the whole eye | Guides wavefront-customised LASIK |
| Anterior chamber measurements | Depth and internal dimensions | Sizing and vault planning for ICL |
| Biometry & macular OCT | Eye length; retinal health | Lens power and suitability for premium IOLs |
The diagnostic exam takes 2–3 hours and is included in every procedure price.

Judgement
Technology serves the surgeon, not the reverse
Newer equipment can make procedures faster and more precise, but it does not change who is a safe candidate. The decision of which platform to use — or not to operate — rests with an experienced surgeon reading your measurements.
BGSS founder Dr. Jong-Ho Lee was a keynote speaker at the Korea SMILE Forum (Feb 2025) and the STAAR Surgical EVO ICL APAC Experts Summit 2024, reflecting long clinical experience with these platforms.

- Alternatives offered when a platform is unsuitable
- Same platforms in Seoul and Busan

Which ICL does BGSS use?
BGSS uses EVO ICL, including the V-Toric ICL for astigmatism.
Which lenses are available for cataract surgery?
Monofocal, EDOF and trifocal lenses, including Clareon PanOptix Pro. Your surgeon recommends one after the exam.
