Treatment Overview
Dr.Vision Ocular Tissue Repair in Korea is an advanced pterygium removal and ocular surface reconstruction treatment that combines microsurgical precision, biologic grafting, and regenerative therapy for long-lasting vision clarity and eye comfort. This innovative procedure targets pterygium — a benign conjunctival tissue growth that can extend onto the cornea, leading to redness, irritation, and vision distortion.
The Dr.Vision system integrates AI-guided microsurgery, bio-adhesive graft fixation, and amniotic or conjunctival autograft transplantation to deliver scar-free, natural results. Korean ophthalmologists have perfected this approach by incorporating biologic regenerative technology and UV-protection care, ensuring minimal recurrence and enhanced cosmetic outcomes.
Dr.Vision Ocular Tissue Repair in Korea represents the gold standard in modern ocular surface restoration — blending surgical innovation, biologic science, and aesthetic precision.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Safely and completely remove pterygium tissue.

- Relieve irritation, redness, and vision distortion caused by pterygium.
Benefits
- AI-Enhanced Precision: Ensures clean removal and tissue preservation.
- Regenerative Graft Integration: Promotes fast, scar-free recovery.
- Bio-Adhesive Fixation: Eliminates the need for sutures, enhancing comfort.
- Cosmetic Restoration: Restores a clear, white ocular surface naturally.
- Low Recurrence Rate: Achieved through advanced biologic care and UV protection.
- Comfortable Recovery: Minimal pain, swelling, or postoperative irritation.
Ideal Candidates
Dr.Vision Ocular Tissue Repair in Korea is suitable for:
- Patients with visible or progressive pterygium affecting vision or comfort.
- Individuals experiencing redness, tearing, or irritation from ocular surface growth.
- Those seeking aesthetic correction of eye appearance.
- Patients with recurrent pterygium after prior surgery.
- Individuals frequently exposed to UV light, dust, or wind.
Possible Risks & Complications
Dr.Vision Ocular Tissue Repair is a safe and well-established procedure. However, mild and temporary side effects may occur:
- Redness or Irritation: Normal during early recovery; fades within a few days.
- Dryness or Discomfort: Controlled with lubricating drops.
- Temporary Blurred Vision: Clears as epithelial healing completes.
- Swelling or Light Sensitivity: Short-term and easily managed.
- Rare Recurrence: Greatly reduced through biologic grafting and protective therapy.
Korean ophthalmic centers utilize AI-guided surgical systems and regenerative biologic care to minimize these effects and ensure rapid, stable healing.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- Microsurgical Pterygium Excision: Precisely removes abnormal conjunctival tissue while preserving the cornea.
- Conjunctival or Amniotic Membrane Graft: Restores the ocular surface using natural biologic material.
- Bio-Adhesive Fixation (No-Stitch): Enhances healing comfort and eliminates suture irritation.
- AI-Guided Visualization: Provides real-time accuracy and tissue depth monitoring.
- Regenerative Growth Factor Therapy: Boosts cell repair and reduces inflammation.
- UV-Protection Recovery System: Prevents recurrence and supports long-term surface stability.
These methods define Dr.Vision Ocular Tissue Repair as one of Korea’s most sophisticated ocular surface procedures.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Eye Examination:
Includes slit-lamp analysis, corneal mapping, and pterygium measurement. - Local Anesthesia & Preparation:
Ensures a painless experience throughout the procedure. - Precise Tissue Removal:
The pterygium is removed under high-magnification microsurgical guidance. - Graft Application:
Conjunctival or amniotic tissue is applied to restore the natural surface. - Bio-Adhesive Fixation:
The graft is secured using tissue-safe biologic adhesive, avoiding stitches.
Procedure Duration: 25–40 minutes per eye
Recovery Period: Vision typically improves within 3–5 days; complete healing in 2–3 weeks.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Apply antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and lubricating eye drops as prescribed.
- Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes for at least one week.
- Wear UV-blocking sunglasses outdoors.
- Avoid swimming, saunas, or strenuous activities for two weeks.
- Attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and graft stability.
Recovery Timeline
- Days 1–3: Mild redness or irritation; early graft integration begins.
- Week 1: Swelling decreases; vision stabilizes.
- Weeks 2–3: Surface smoothens and clarity improves.
- 1 Month: Fully healed with natural, scar-free ocular appearance.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Complete removal of pterygium with smooth ocular surface restoration.
- Relief from redness, dryness, and irritation.
