South Korea’s drug regulator approved Aju Pharm’s Latika Ophthalmic Solution 5% for improving corneal and conjunctival epithelial disorders in adults with dry eye disease.
A Yonsei University College of Medicine glaucoma team found that preserving central vision after severe glaucoma surgery was associated more closely with early postoperative eye pressure management than with the surgical method.
A Seoul National University Hospital pediatric ophthalmology team found that most children in a Korean multicenter cohort regained good vision within six months after treatment for optic neuritis.
Ajou Pharmaceutical launched two ophthalmic products, while Chong Kun Dang added Korean rights to develop and commercialize an investigational retinal therapy.
The National Health Insurance Service counted 692,126 cataract surgeries in 2025, up 4.2% from 664,306 in 2024 and the largest volume among 35 tracked procedures.
A Catholic University of Korea team and Inha University engineers began a five-year project to develop an AI-assisted platform for diagnosing ocular surface disease from a tiny tear sample.
Kim Eye Hospital presented its fifth Myunggok Clinical Medicine Award to Seoul National University Bundang Hospital ophthalmology professor Kim Tae-woo for his contributions to precision glaucoma care.
The Korean Ophthalmologists Association called for detailed safety standards reflecting the visual-information needs of eye care before revised telemedicine provisions take effect on December 24.
Sudden vision loss together with limb weakness in adults in their 20s to 40s can signal multiple sclerosis or another inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system.
Under-eye bulging and hollowing call for different approaches depending on how fat protrusion, tear-trough depth, skin elasticity and sagging combine, which is what separates fat repositioning from lower blepharoplasty.
Common fascial sheath surgery is used for severe ptosis, where levator and Müller muscle function has dropped far enough to obstruct the visual field, two Korean medical outlets report.

Corner-of-the-eye procedures move only a few millimeters of tissue, yet those small shifts can change how open — or how strained — a face looks.
Incisional, buried suture and natural adhesion techniques create a crease in different ways — and each suits different eyes.
Moving under-eye fat can smooth a younger eye, but once the skin itself has stretched, lower blepharoplasty addresses layers that repositioning cannot reach.
Restoration surgery can rebuild an over-opened inner corner, but it works with scarred, shortened tissue — and that sets real limits.
Some hooded eyes are really a brow problem — and trimming eyelid skin when the brow has dropped can make the face look heavier, not lighter.
Blepharoptosis narrows the field of vision and tires the forehead — and its evaluation looks very different from a cosmetic fold consultation.
Suture-based ptosis correction tightens the eye-opening muscles without a skin incision — a fit for some eyelids, but not all.
Lowering or raising the outer corner of the eye shifts millimeters of anatomy but can noticeably soften or sharpen how a face reads.
Most post-surgical swelling follows a predictable arc — knowing that arc helps patients care for their eyes and spot the exceptions early.
Ptosis repair is usually packaged with double eyelid surgery, but the lifting muscle can be strengthened while deliberately keeping the monolid intact.
Moving bulging orbital fat into the tear trough smooths a shadowed contour — but it does not erase pigment-driven dark circles.
Pigment, shadow-casting structure and visible vessels each darken the under-eye by a different mechanism, which is why one remedy rarely fits all.
Loose eyelid skin and a weak lifting muscle produce a similar tired look but call for different operations — and older eyes often have both.
Most men asking about eyelid surgery want a less tired look without an obvious crease — a goal that calls for different techniques than the standard playbook.
A loosened, deep or asymmetric fold can often be improved — but timing, scar tissue and remaining skin set real limits.
The same double eyelid operation produces very different faces depending on where the line starts and how high it runs — and that design is anatomy first, taste second.
