A procedure that places a ring around the iris to make it look larger.
Eye Ring surgery places a ring in the eye. That's why OLIM Eye Clinic Gangnam looks at your eye health before appearance—and if the surgery isn't right for your eyes, we'll tell you.
A round ring approved by Korea MFDS is placed around the iris. It can be removed or replaced if needed.
An AI simulation in the app shows which ring suits your eyes before you decide.
We proceed after a detailed exam and a pre-op AI simulation. If you're also considering vision correction, we set the order based on your eyes.
Every patient gets a one-on-one treatment plan,
OLIM Eye Clinic Gangnam’s principle of care
and after the exam, we recommend only the surgery you need.
A cosmetic procedure that places a circular ring approved by Korea MFDS around the iris to make it look larger. It is performed after detailed tests and an AI simulation.
Small incisions are made above and below in the conjunctiva.
An instrument creates space for the ring.
The ring is hooked onto an instrument and positioned.
Both ends of the ring are joined through the opposite incision.
The incisions are sutured and finished with a tissue adhesive.
The ring settles securely in place.
Depending on your eyes, we plan it together with vision correction surgery. Both can't be done on the same day; we allow a recovery period after one before doing the other.

Eye Ring is a cosmetic surgery that changes appearance, not vision. A detailed pre-op exam checks pupil size, corneal health and other eye conditions, and surgery may not be possible in the cases below.
You can return to daily activities the next day, but your eyes may look red and swollen for a while. Recovery speed varies from person to person.
Performed under numbing eye drops. About 20–30 minutes per eye, about 1 hour for both.
You can go about daily life. Subconjunctival bleeding (blood visible in the white of the eye) or redness may appear.
Conjunctival swelling, bleeding, redness and a foreign-body feeling usually improve within 2 weeks.
For some people, swelling and redness can last up to a month. Avoid eye makeup and saunas during this time.
The steroid eye drops used after surgery can raise eye pressure, so regular check-ups are essential.
Like any surgery, Eye Ring can have complications. Results depend on your eyes—consult thoroughly before deciding.
After surgery, stinging or a feeling that something is in the eye may last for a while.
The white of the eye may look red or swollen for a time—usually 2 weeks, up to about a month.
Inflammation can occasionally occur, so prescribed drops and good hygiene are important.
Steroid eye drops after surgery can raise eye pressure. We monitor it at regular check-ups.
If there are side effects or you don't like the look, the ring can be removed or replaced.

Common surgical side effects such as pain, redness, subconjunctival bleeding, conjunctival swelling and a foreign-body feeling can occur.
LASIK and LASEK reshape the cornea to correct vision. Eye Ring leaves the cornea untouched and places a ring between the conjunctiva and sclera around the iris to make it look larger. It's a cosmetic surgery and doesn't change your vision.
It's done under numbing eye drops.
Depending on your eyes, the exam through surgery can be done the same day. Surgery takes 20–30 minutes per eye, about 1 hour for both.
It can be planned together with vision correction such as LASIK, LASEK or SMILE, but both can't be done on the same day. We proceed after about 1.5–2 months of recovery from the first surgery.
If there are no particular problems, it can stay, but it can be removed or replaced if needed. You still need regular check-ups after the ring is placed.
We check pupil size, corneal health, conjunctival thickness, and other eye conditions such as glaucoma or retinal disease. Depending on the results, surgery may not be possible.
