Regain Clear Eyes with Phakic ICL at Anh Sang Eye Hospital

An 18-Year Journey with Glasses Before Discovering Phakic ICL

Trinh Ha Vi – The multi-talented girl from SChannel who lived with myopia for 18 years

Behind the image of the pure “White Moonlight” on Schannel, few people knew that Ha Vi had lived with high myopia for more than 18 years.

• 10 years with eyeglasses.
• 8 years persevering with Ortho-K lenses to cover up her –8 diopter myopia.

These inconveniences always made her yearn for freedom – to see clearly without glasses or contact lenses.

Placing Her Trust in Anh Sang Eye Hospital

To make this important decision, Ha Vi chose Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vu Thi Thanh – Director of Anh Sang Eye Hospital, People’s Physician of Merit, with more than 30 years of experience and over 160,000 successful surgeries. These figures are proof of a lifetime of dedication, not only in skill but also in her devotion to every patient.

Beyond human expertise, Anh Sang Eye Hospital is also one of the pioneering medical facilities in adopting the world’s most advanced ophthalmic technologies.

The combination of professional experience, advanced technology, and comprehensive patient care created firm trust for Ha Vi. From the initial consultation, personalized advice, to the surgery and post-operative follow-up, every step was handled carefully, transparently, and responsibly.

Phakic ICL – The Solution for High Myopia and Thin Corneas

Ha Vi chose Phakic ICL to rescue her eyes

1. Advanced Surgical Technology

The Phakic ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) method is currently the leading solution for people with:

• Myopia from –3.0D to –20.0D.
• Astigmatism from 1.0D to 4.0D.
• Thin corneas or dry eyes – cases unsuitable for LASIK or SMILE.

2. Outstanding Advantages

• No corneal damage since no corneal tissue is removed.
• No dry eye – avoids a common side effect of LASIK.
• Sharp vision immediately after surgery: more than 90% of patients achieved uncorrected visual acuity equivalent to their best corrected vision before.
• Removable if necessary – offering flexibility for future vision needs.
• UV protection thanks to Collamer material exclusively from STAAR Surgical.

3. Quick Recovery

The surgery lasts only 20–30 minutes, and patients can return to normal activities after 1–2 days.

Ha Vi’s Surgery – A Turning Point

Ha Vi’s surgery was not simply another refractive operation but a true milestone thanks to the support of world-class technology.

• Artevo 750 – the modern 3D digital surgical microscope, introduced for the first time in Vietnam. This technology allows the surgeon to view eye structures in great detail with sharp images, improving precision and safety in every step.
• Callisto Eye – an intelligent navigation platform, enabling the doctor to position the lens with absolute accuracy, minimizing errors and shortening surgery time.

Thanks to this combination, the surgery was fast, precise, and absolutely safe. After 2 months of follow-up, Vi’s vision reached 10/10, her eyes clear as if she had never known glasses.

Post-Surgery Feelings

After the successful surgery, Ha Vi walked out of the operating room with clear eyes that even surprised herself. Within just a few days, her vision improved significantly, and everyday activities such as reading, working on the computer, or filming vlogs became easier than ever.

Ha Vi shared: “Gentle, safe… only regret: I wish I had done it earlier.”

This is also the common sentiment of many patients after experiencing Phakic ICL – regret that they hesitated too long before choosing such a safe and effective solution.

Expert Perspective: Why Phakic ICL Is a Breakthrough

According to international studies and clinical reports:

• 99.4% of Phakic ICL patients said they would do the procedure again.
• Low complication rate, mostly temporary and manageable with regular follow-up.
• Long-lasting results, maintaining stable vision for many years.

Compared with LASIK and PRK, Phakic ICL is especially suitable for patients with thin corneas, high myopia, or a risk of dry eye.
