Treatment Overview
DreamSight Pterygium Excision in Korea is a modern, high-precision ocular surface surgery designed to remove pterygium — a fibrovascular tissue growth extending from the conjunctiva onto the cornea that can cause redness, discomfort, and vision impairment. This advanced treatment blends microsurgical precision, AI-guided imaging, and biologic tissue grafting for a clear, smooth, and naturally restored eye surface.
Unlike traditional methods that rely on sutures, DreamSight Pterygium Excision utilizes bio-adhesive fixation and autologous or amniotic membrane grafting, ensuring a suture-free, comfortable recovery. Korean ophthalmologists have perfected this system with regenerative biologic therapy and UV-protection aftercare, minimizing recurrence and achieving both medical and cosmetic excellence.
DreamSight Pterygium Excision in Korea sets a new benchmark in corneal and conjunctival restoration — combining surgical precision, rapid recovery, and aesthetic refinement.

These innovations make DreamSight Pterygium Excision one of the most advanced ocular surface procedures in Korea.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Detailed Ocular Evaluation:
Corneal topography and slit-lamp imaging determine pterygium size and depth. - Anesthetic Preparation:
Local anesthesia ensures a painless and comfortable procedure. - Precise Pterygium Removal:
Abnormal tissue is removed with microsurgical accuracy while preserving healthy cornea. - Graft Application:
A conjunctival or amniotic graft is applied to protect and restore the ocular surface. - Bio-Adhesive Fixation:
The graft is secured with tissue-safe adhesive, replacing traditional sutures.
Procedure Duration: 25–40 minutes per eye
Recovery Period: Functional vision returns in 3–5 days; full healing in 2–3 weeks.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Use prescribed antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and lubricating drops as directed.
- Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes for one week.
- Wear UV-protective sunglasses outdoors.
- Avoid swimming, saunas, and strenuous exercise for two weeks.
- Attend all follow-up visits to monitor healing progress.
Recovery Timeline
- Days 1–3: Mild redness and irritation; graft begins to integrate.
- Week 1: Vision stabilizes; inflammation decreases.
- Weeks 2–3: Surface clarity restored and redness fades.
- 1 Month: Fully healed with smooth, natural appearance.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Complete removal of pterygium and restoration of ocular surface integrity.
