Treatment Overview
HanGil Pterygium Care Plus in Korea is a state-of-the-art ocular surface reconstruction and pterygium removal procedure designed to restore clarity, comfort, and health to the eye. This advanced system effectively removes pterygium — a fibrovascular growth on the conjunctiva that can extend onto the cornea, causing redness, irritation, and visual distortion — using precise microsurgery, biologic grafting, and regenerative healing technology.
Developed by Korean ophthalmic specialists, HanGil Pterygium Care Plus integrates AI-guided surgical systems, bio-adhesive (no-stitch) graft fixation, and regenerative biologic therapies for fast recovery and natural cosmetic results. The system also employs UV-protection protocols and oxygen-enhanced healing techniques, ensuring low recurrence rates and optimal long-term ocular stability.

Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Detailed Eye Evaluation:
Corneal imaging, slit-lamp examination, and pterygium analysis ensure precise treatment planning. - Anesthesia & Preparation:
Local anesthesia ensures comfort and a completely painless experience. - Microsurgical Removal:
The pterygium is delicately excised using AI-guided micro-instruments. - Graft Application:
A biologic or autologous graft is placed over the excised area to promote natural healing. - Bio-Adhesive Fixation:
The graft is secured with a tissue-safe adhesive instead of stitches for optimal comfort.
Procedure Duration: 25–40 minutes per eye
Recovery Period: Functional vision typically returns in 3–5 days; full recovery within 2–3 weeks.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Use prescribed antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and lubricating eye drops as directed.
- Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes for one week.
- Wear UV-blocking sunglasses outdoors.
- Avoid swimming, saunas, or strenuous exercise for two weeks.
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor graft stability and healing.
Recovery Timeline
- Days 1–3: Mild irritation or redness; graft begins integrating.
- Week 1: Redness fades; vision becomes clearer.
- Weeks 2–3: Ocular surface fully stabilizes.
- 1 Month: Complete healing with smooth, clear, and natural results.
