Treatment Overview
GrandCare Pterygium Excision in Korea is an advanced ocular surface restoration and pterygium removal procedure that integrates precision microsurgery, biologic grafting, and regenerative tissue therapy. This treatment effectively removes pterygium — a fibrovascular tissue growth extending from the conjunctiva to the cornea — restoring the eye’s clarity, comfort, and natural appearance.
The GrandCare system utilizes AI-guided surgical imaging, bio-adhesive fixation, and regenerative biologic recovery to achieve smooth healing without sutures or scarring. Korean ophthalmologists developed this approach to combine medical precision with aesthetic restoration, ensuring patients experience fast recovery, low recurrence, and lasting comfort.
GrandCare Pterygium Excision in Korea represents the highest standard of ocular surface surgery, where innovation meets gentle, patient-centered care.
