Treatment Overview
FineGraft Eye Surgery in Korea is a premium pterygium removal and ocular surface reconstruction procedure that combines precision microsurgery, biologic grafting, and regenerative medicine to restore the eye’s natural clarity, comfort, and appearance. This advanced technique removes pterygium — a fibrovascular tissue growth that extends from the conjunctiva onto the cornea — using the latest in AI-guided visualization and suture-free grafting systems.
Unlike traditional methods that use sutures, FineGraft Eye Surgery employs bio-adhesive fixation and autologous or amniotic membrane grafts, ensuring smooth healing, minimal discomfort, and no visible scarring. Korean ophthalmologists have perfected this approach by integrating regenerative biologic therapy and UV-protection protocols, resulting in long-term clarity and a naturally bright eye appearance.
FineGraft Eye Surgery in Korea represents the pinnacle of ocular surface care — combining surgical precision, biologic healing, and cosmetic excellence in one advanced system.

Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Eye Evaluation:
Includes corneal topography, slit-lamp imaging, and pterygium measurement. - Anesthesia & Preparation:
Local anesthesia ensures a painless, stress-free experience. - Pterygium Excision:
The growth is gently removed using microsurgical precision. - Graft Placement:
A biologic or autologous graft is positioned to cover the excised area. - Bio-Adhesive Fixation:
The graft is secured using a medical-grade adhesive, ensuring smooth, fast healing.
Procedure Duration: 25–40 minutes per eye
Recovery Period: Vision typically improves in 3–5 days; full healing in 2–3 weeks.
Recovery & After-Care
After-Care Guidelines
- Apply prescribed antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and lubricating eye drops as directed.
- Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes for one week.
- Wear UV-protective sunglasses when outdoors.
- Avoid swimming, saunas, and heavy physical activity for two weeks.
- Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
Recovery Timeline
- Days 1–3: Mild redness or irritation; graft begins to integrate.
- Week 1: Swelling subsides; vision improves.
- Weeks 2–3: Smooth corneal surface achieved; redness fades.
- 1 Month: Complete recovery with clear, natural results.
