BGSS Eye Clinic is a premier ophthalmology center in South Korea known for its advanced refractive vision correction services including ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery, SMILE, LASIK, LASEK, and presbyopia lens procedures across its Seoul and Busan locations. It has performed over 61,000 ICL procedures with more than 23 years of cumulative surgical experience — making it one of the most experienced centers in Korea for lens-based vision correction.

While BGSS Eye Clinic does not publicly list a formal, accredited fellowship or certificate program specifically labeled as an “ICL Surgery Training Program” for surgeons, the clinic is widely recognized within ophthalmology circles for its expertise in ICL techniques and is visited by doctors interested in learning advanced surgical know-how directly from experienced specialists.

Why BGSS Eye Clinic Is a Center of Interest for ICL Training

Pioneers in ICL Surgery in Korea

BGSS Eye Clinic was among the first in Korea to introduce ICL surgery, and its CEO Dr. Lee Jong-Ho was appointed as an official ICL instructor by the lens manufacturer — a significant professional credential that underscores their leadership in the field.

Strong Clinical Volume and Expertise

• 23+ years of experience with ICL cases accumulated in Seoul and Busan.
• Over 61,000 successful ICL lens implantation surgeries performed.
  These volumes provide a rich clinical environment for observing a wide variety of patient anatomies and surgical scenarios.

Innovative ICL Techniques

BGSS Eye Clinic is known for advanced techniques, including the V-Toric ICL for combined myopia and astigmatism correction, which has drawn interest from ophthalmologists globally for its lens design and implantation strategy.

What Prospective Trainees Can Expect

Observation of Specialized Techniques

Surgeons or ophthalmology trainees interested in refractive surgery can arrange clinical observation at BGSS Eye Clinic to learn:

• Preoperative anatomical analysis and lens sizing protocols
• ICL implantation workflows including EVO and V-Toric techniques
• Intraoperative lens positioning and alignment strategies
• Postoperative management and follow-up protocols

This type of clinical exposure allows trainees to understand how high-volume ICL surgery is conducted at an advanced tertiary eye clinic.

Mentorship and Professional Exchange

While hands-on surgery participation may be limited by licensure and local medical regulations, BGSS Eye Clinic’s experienced surgical team, including its lead physicians, can provide mentorship, case review discussions, and theory-to-practice integration — particularly for surgeons coming from training programs abroad seeking insight into Korea’s refractive surgical standards.

Academic and Technical Insight

Given BGSS Eye Clinic’s involvement in ICL milestones and professional recognition, interested surgeons may also gain insights into:

• Lens selection criteria and ocular measurement protocols
• Astigmatism correction with V-Toric lens planning
• Long-term patient outcomes and complication management

This knowledge is valuable for building advanced clinical decision-making skills in lens-based refractive surgery.

Who Should Consider This Program

The training opportunities at BGSS Eye Clinic are suitable for:

• Licensed ophthalmologists specializing in refractive surgery
• Eye surgeons seeking experience with ICL procedures beyond laser methods
• Residents and fellows aiming to expand clinical exposure in lens-based vision correction
• International surgeons interested in Korean surgical protocols and techniques

Plastic Surgery Courses

Plastic surgery training courses in Korea offer specialized education for surgeons seeking advanced skills in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.

These programs focus on core disciplines such as oculoplastic surgery, rhinoplasty, and facial bone contouring, covering patient evaluation, surgical planning, operative techniques, and postoperative care.

Participants gain real-world exposure through live surgery observation and structured hands-on training within high-volume clinical settings. The curriculum also addresses complication prevention, revision strategies, and achieving natural, proportion-balanced outcomes.

Graduates are equipped with the practical knowledge and clinical confidence to perform advanced plastic surgery procedures aligned with global standards.
