Pterygium
What is Pterygium?
A pterygium is a non-cancerous growth of tissue on the white part of the eye (conjunctiva) that can extend onto the cornea, potentially affecting vision. It is often caused by excessive UV exposure, wind, dust, and dry environments.
Symptoms
- Redness and irritation
- Foreign body sensation in the eye
- Cosmetic concerns
- Blurred or distorted vision (if it grows over the cornea)
Treatment Options
- Mild Cases: Treated with lubricating eye drops or anti-inflammatory medications.
- Severe or Growing Pterygium: Requires surgical removal, often combined with conjunctival grafting to prevent recurrence.
