Pterygium is a common eye condition in which a fleshy, wedge-shaped growth develops on the white part of the eye (conjunctiva) and may gradually extend toward the cornea. It is often caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight (UV rays), dust, wind, and dry environmental conditions. While mild cases may not cause serious problems, advanced pterygium can lead to redness, irritation, blurred vision, and discomfort.
Advanced Treatment for Pterygium
Safe and effective management of abnormal conjunctival growth with modern surgical precision and long-term protection.
What is Pterygium?
Pterygium is a non-cancerous, wedge-shaped tissue growth that develops on the white part of the eye (conjunctiva) and may gradually extend onto the cornea. It is commonly associated with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, dust, wind, dry climate, and environmental irritants.
While early-stage pterygium may cause mild irritation, advanced cases can distort the corneal surface, induce astigmatism, and interfere with clear vision. Timely treatment is essential to prevent progression.
Common Symptoms
- Persistent redness
- Burning or itching sensation
- Foreign body sensation
- Dryness and irritation
- Blurred vision (advanced cases)
Major Causes & Risk Factors
- Excessive sunlight exposure
- Outdoor work in dusty environments
- Dry or windy climate
- Lack of protective eyewear
- Chronic eye irritation
Treatment Options for Pterygium
Medical Management
In early stages, lubricating eye drops and anti-inflammatory medications help reduce irritation and prevent progression. UV-protective sunglasses are strongly recommended.
Advanced Surgical Removal
When the growth affects vision or cosmetic appearance, surgical removal is advised. The abnormal tissue is carefully excised, and a conjunctival autograft is placed to reduce recurrence.
