Pterygium

A pterygium is a noncancerous growth of tissue on the white part of the eye that can extend onto the cornea. It is often associated with long-term exposure to sunlight, wind, dust, and dry environments. While some pterygia remain small, others can grow over time and cause irritation or affect vision.

Common symptoms include:

• Redness or eye irritation

• Gritty or foreign body sensation

• Dryness or excessive tearing

• Blurred vision

• Cosmetic concerns

We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for pterygium. Mild cases may be managed with lubricating eye drops and medications to reduce inflammation, while surgical removal may be recommended if the growth becomes larger, causes significant discomfort, affects vision, or continues to progress.

Our goal is to provide personalized treatment based on your symptoms, eye health, and lifestyle while helping protect your vision and maintain long-term eye health.
