Treatment Overview
FocusOne Pterygium Removal in Korea is a modern, minimally invasive ocular surface reconstruction procedure designed to safely and completely remove pterygium — a benign, fibrovascular tissue growth extending from the conjunctiva onto the cornea that can cause redness, discomfort, and visual distortion.
This advanced treatment uses AI-guided surgical visualization, microsurgical precision, and biologic grafting technology to restore the eye’s natural clarity and comfort. The procedure employs bio-adhesive fixation instead of traditional sutures, ensuring a smoother, faster, and pain-free recovery.
Korean ophthalmologists combine regenerative biologic therapy and UV-protection aftercare to prevent recurrence and promote long-term ocular health. FocusOne Pterygium Removal in Korea provides a perfect balance of precision surgery, regenerative medicine, and aesthetic restoration.

Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Comprehensive Eye Assessment:
Includes corneal imaging, slit-lamp examination, and pterygium mapping. - Local Anesthesia:
Ensures comfort and a completely pain-free procedure. - Pterygium Removal:
The fibrovascular growth is carefully excised under high-magnification microscopy. - Graft Application:
A biologic or autologous graft is placed over the treated area. - Bio-Adhesive Fixation:
The graft is attached using medical-grade biologic adhesive — no stitches required.
Procedure Duration: 25–40 minutes per eye
Recovery Period: Vision typically improves within 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 the eyes for one week.
- Wear UV-blocking sunglasses outdoors.
- Avoid swimming, sauna, or strenuous exercise for two weeks.
- Attend all scheduled follow-ups for progress monitoring.
Recovery Timeline
- Days 1–3: Mild redness or irritation; early graft bonding begins.
- Week 1: Vision stabilizes; inflammation reduces noticeably.
- Weeks 2–3: Surface clarity and comfort fully restored.
