We offer treatment and surgery options for this condition, also commonly referred to as Surfer’s Eye or Farmer’s Eye.Pterygium is a condition where fleshy tissue grows on the surface of the eye, often caused by exposure to UV light. It can lead to redness, irritation, and blurred vision. Mild cases can be managed with lubricating eye drops, while more severe cases may require surgical removal.
The surgery involves removing the abnormal tissue and grafting conjunctival tissue to prevent regrowth. Following surgery, patients may need to use eye drops and take measures to protect their eyes from UV light. Your care provider will advise you on the beset way forward and set you up for success!
