Pterygium Surgery

Pterygium surgery is performed to remove an abnormal, fleshy growth on the conjunctiva that may extend onto the cornea, causing discomfort, redness, and vision obstruction. The surgery is a quick outpatient procedure that restores the eye’s natural appearance and function. Using modern surgical techniques, including conjunctival autografting, significantly reduces the risk of recurrence. Post-surgery, patients may experience mild irritation, which subsides as the eye heals. Recovery usually takes a few weeks, with prescribed medications ensuring proper healing. Protecting the eyes from excessive sun exposure and dryness can help prevent recurrence. Pterygium surgery is an effective and safe solution for individuals experiencing persistent discomfort, irritation, or vision issues due to this condition.
