Treatment Overview
HealVue Conjunctival Surgery in Korea is a next-generation pterygium removal and ocular surface restoration procedure that combines microsurgical precision, biologic grafting, and regenerative tissue therapy. This treatment effectively removes pterygium — a benign conjunctival tissue growth that extends onto the cornea — restoring clear vision, comfort, and natural eye appearance.
The HealVue system integrates AI-guided microsurgical visualization, bio-adhesive (no-stitch) fixation, and regenerative biologic healing to ensure scar-free recovery and lasting results. Developed by Korean ophthalmologists, it emphasizes gentle, contact-free surgical methods that minimize inflammation and promote natural ocular surface regeneration.
HealVue Conjunctival Surgery in Korea represents the forefront of advanced ocular surface care, combining medical excellence with cosmetic precision for clear, bright, and healthy eyes.
