MIRACLE FORMULA™ Customized Cataract Surgery Cataracts are a condition in which the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision, glare, light sensitivity, and reduced color perception. Cataract surgery is a treatment that restores vision by removing the clouded lens and implanting an intraocular lens tailored to the patient’s eye. Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic’s MIRACLE FORMULA™ is a personalized cataract surgery system that goes beyond simply removing cataracts. It comprehensively analyzes the patient’s ocular structure, lifestyle, and desired postoperative range of vision to determine the type and power of the intraocular lens. What Is MIRACLE FORMULA™? Even with the same cataract condition, corneal shape, axial length, astigmatism, pupil size, retinal status, history of vision correction surgery, and commonly used viewing distances vary from patient to patient. MIRACLE FORMULA™ integrates the results of various detailed examinations and the clinical data of the medical team to determine the intraocular lens and target power most suitable for each patient. In particular, for cases in which lens power calculation is challenging—such as eyes that have undergone previous vision correction procedures including LASIK or LASEK, or eyes with high myopia or astigmatism—multiple measurements are cross-checked to establish a surgical plan. Lens Selection Based on Individual Visual Lifestyle After assessing the patient’s occupation, lifestyle habits, nighttime driving needs, computer and smartphone usage time, and preferences regarding glasses, an appropriate intraocular lens is recommended. • Monofocal lens: A lens designed to focus on one target distance, either far or near • Extended depth-of-focus lens: A lens that provides natural, continuous vision from far to intermediate distances • Multifocal/trifocal lens: A lens intended to improve distance, intermediate, and near vision • Toric lens: A lens that corrects corneal astigmatism along with cataracts Multifocal lenses are not suitable for every patient. Lens selection is made after comprehensively evaluating corneal and retinal status, dry eye disease, pupil size, and nighttime vision requirements. Comprehensive Examination System • Axial length and intraocular lens power measurement using the ZEISS IOLMaster 700 • Comprehensive analysis of the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces through Total Keratometry • Corneal topography and corneal astigmatism analysis using the Galilei G4 • Evaluation of macular and optic nerve status using OCT • Wide-field retinal examination using OPTOS • Testing of intraocular pressure, corneal endothelial cells, pupil size, and dry eye disease • Analysis of previous vision correction procedures and ophthalmic surgical history Advanced Cataract Surgery System Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic uses the ZEISS OPMI LUMERA 700 surgical microscope and CALLISTO eye system. These systems provide alignment information directly within the surgeon’s field of view, helping precisely align the axis of toric intraocular lenses and minimize residual astigmatism. The Alcon CENTURION Vision System is used to remove the clouded natural lens and implant an intraocular lens tailored to the patient. The procedure is performed safely and precisely while maintaining intraocular pressure and anterior chamber stability during surgery.
Surgery Overview
Miracle Formula Cataract
Optimized for Asians, customized Presbyopia & Cataract Surgery
Customized Presbyopia & Cataract Surgery developed by Samsung Miracle exclusively for Asians
The most important key to Presbyopia & Cataract Surgery
First, phacoemulsification [removal of the aged Lens]
As Cataract progression varies by stage, such as early, intermediate, and advanced stages, the expertise of the specialist handling the Lens is extremely important.
Samsung Miracle's decades of accumulated know-how, combined with the world's only intelligent phacoemulsification equipment, enables stable and fast surgery without damaging the tissues surrounding the Lens.

The most important key to Presbyopia & Cataract Surgery
Second, posterior chamber Intraocular Lens implantation
Selecting the Lens that best suits the individual is important, but even more important is the Lens power that achieves a refractive error of zero. The Lens power calculation programs currently used by many ophthalmology clinics are based on Western standards and are not optimized for Asians. To address this, Miracle developed Miracle Formula, a Lens power calculation program suited to Asians, based on more than 3,000 surgical cases in Korea.
Customized Presbyopia & Cataract Surgery exclusively for Asians
Conventional Presbyopia & Cataract Lens power calculation formulas are based on Western standards and are not optimized for Asians. Therefore, based on more than 3,000 surgical cases in Korea, Miracle developed Miracle Formula, a Lens power calculation formula suited to Asians.
Accurate analysis, research, and development based on more than 60 million data points
This formula was developed based on data from more than 10,000 Presbyopia & Cataract Surgery procedures performed at Samsung Miracle from June 2019 to May 2023. It was researched and developed using over 60 million data points from 3,000 patients with similar surgical times, examination periods, age groups, and other factors.
Independent technical expertise recognized worldwide through published papers and presentations at international conferences
Miracle Formula was presented at the world-renowned ophthalmology conference, the '2023 European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS),' demonstrating its technology globally. Related papers were also published, proving that Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic plays a leading role in Presbyopia & Cataract Surgery.

Miracle Formula Cataract surgery process
Miracle Formula Cataract corrects Presbyopia and Cataract simultaneously by implanting a multifocal Intraocular Lens that can improve Distance Vision, Near Vision, and Intermediate Vision in the cloudy Lens.
Rather than using conventional surgical methods based on Western standards, surgery is performed using Miracle Formula, developed by Samsung Miracle based on Asian standards, to provide clearer vision.

Presbyopia vs. Cataract: Easy to confuse
Presbyopia and Cataract have similar symptoms and can easily be confused, and many people have both Presbyopia and Cataract at the same time.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia refers to the condition in which Near Vision becomes difficult as the elasticity of the muscles around the Lens, which adjust focus for near and far distances, decreases.
Presbyopia vision
(Left: normal vision / Right: Presbyopia vision)
Presbyopia self-assessment
✓ Decreased vision: Near Vision becomes blurry, while Distance Vision may feel relatively clear.
✓ Difficulty shifting focus: Focusing becomes slower when alternating between near and distant objects.
✓ Eye fatigue and Headache: Prolonged close-up work may cause rapid fatigue or Headache.
✓ Increased reading distance: When reading a newspaper or book, the text is clearer when held at least 35 cm away.
Cataract
Light entering the eye is refracted through the transparent refractive structure called the Lens and forms an image on the Retina. Cataract is a condition in which this Lens becomes cloudy, preventing light from passing through properly.
Cataract vision
(Left: normal vision / Right: Cataract vision)
Cataract self-assessment
✓ Reduced vision: Vision appears cloudy and dim, as if looking through fog. Because it progresses gradually along with decreased vision, it may not be noticed early.
✓ Double vision: Objects appear doubled or tripled even when viewing with only one eye.
✓ Day blindness: The eyes feel sensitive in bright places, and you may frequently squint when exposed to light. Vision may seem better in dark places or indoors. Light may appear scattered, or glare may make it difficult to keep the eyes open.
✓ Glare: You experience glare from bright lighting such as streetlights or fluorescent lights.
For the sake of your precious eyes, choosing Samsung Miracle is essential.
