Small Pupils, Circle Lens Side Effects? Consider ‘Eye Ring Surgery’

Many people are concerned about small pupils despite having larger eyes from cosmetic surgery. While circle lenses are a common solution, they can lead to severe side effects like conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, and even new blood vessel growth that makes pupils appear smaller. Eye Ring Surgery offers a permanent, safe alternative to achieve larger pupils while protecting eye health.

Small Pupils, Circle Lens Side Effects? Consider ‘Eye Ring Surgery’

Hello, this is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic.😊

As cosmetic surgery has become very popular these days,

many people have larger eyes due to double eyelid surgery or canthoplasty,

but often worry about their relatively small pupils.

Those who have a complex about small pupils

mostly wear circle lenses.

However, if circle lenses are worn incorrectly,

many side effects can occur.

Even with daily cleaning and proper storage,

impurities like protein are not completely removed,

making one susceptible to conjunctivitis, and in severe cases,

it can even lead to side effects such as corneal ulcers.

Furthermore, if circle lenses are worn repeatedly for long periods

or if inexpensive colored lenses are used, the cornea may not receive enough oxygen,

causing new blood vessels to grow around the conjunctiva, making the black pupil appear smaller.

This actually produces the opposite effect of what circle lenses are intended for.

Also, due to excessive use of circle lenses,

if the cornea becomes irreversibly damaged,

one may never be able to wear circle lenses again.

Despite these many side effects, if you cannot give up on cosmetic pupil enhancement,

you might consider ‘Eye Ring Surgery’, a pupil augmentation procedure performed at our clinic.

Eye Ring Surgery allows you to achieve larger pupils while protecting your eye health.

You can break free from circle lenses and enjoy daily life without discomfort,

with clear and large pupils.

The surgery is permanent,

and involves inserting an ocular implant approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety

beneath the conjunctiva.

In case of an inflammatory reaction or if you are not satisfied with the cosmetic result,

it can be removed or replaced at any time.

For those with congenitally or acquired small pupils, as mentioned earlier,

and those suffering from frequent circle lens side effects,

this surgery can be a good alternative that helps overcome complexes while protecting eye health.

Currently, Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic is holding a limited special event to commemorate the launch of Eye Ring Surgery,

so we kindly ask for your interest.

Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic always puts patients first

and prioritizes transparency and safety.

If you have any other inquiries,

please feel free to contact us at any time. 😊

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the side effects of circle lenses?

Side effects of circle lenses can include conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. Additionally, prolonged wear can hinder oxygen supply to the cornea, causing new blood vessels to grow around the conjunctiva, making the black pupil appear smaller. In severe cases, the cornea can be damaged, making it impossible to wear circle lenses for life.

What kind of surgery is I-Ring surgery?

I-Ring surgery is a pupil plasty that helps achieve larger pupils while maintaining eye health. It is performed by inserting an FDA-approved ocular implant under the conjunctiva, allowing for cosmetic effects without the side effects of circle lenses.

Is I-Ring surgery permanent?

Yes, I-Ring surgery is permanent. It involves inserting an FDA-approved ocular implant, providing continuous effects with a single surgery, freeing you from the discomfort and side effects of wearing circle lenses.

Can I-Ring implants be removed if I don't like them after surgery?

Yes, it is possible. If there is an inflammatory reaction after I-Ring surgery or if the cosmetic results are unsatisfactory, the inserted ocular implant can be removed or replaced at any time. This flexibility in surgery prioritizes patient satisfaction.

Who is I-Ring surgery recommended for?

I-Ring surgery is recommended for those who are concerned about having small pupils, whether congenitally or acquired. It can also be a good alternative for those who suffer from side effects due to frequent circle lens wear but cannot give up the cosmetic enhancement of their pupils, allowing them to overcome their complex while protecting their eye health.
