Pterygium is a non-cancerous growth of tissue on the surface of the eye that can gradually extend toward the clear front part of the eye. It is often associated with long-term exposure to sunlight, wind, dust, and other environmental irritants. A pterygium may cause redness, dryness, irritation, watering, or a feeling of something being in the eye. If the growth becomes larger, it can sometimes affect vision or cause changes in the shape of the eye s surface. Early eye evaluation is important when symptoms persist or a visible growth is noticed. An Ophthalmologist can examine the eye and determine whether observation, lubricating treatment, or further management is appropriate. Surgical removal may be considered when a pterygium causes significant discomfort, affects vision, or continues to progress. Protective measures such as wearing UV-protective sunglasses and avoiding prolonged exposure to dust and wind may help reduce irritation. Save Sight Eye Centre in Guwahati provides Ophthalmologist care for various eye conditions, including surface-related concerns. Patients with symptoms of Pterygium can seek a professional eye examination to understand the condition and receive appropriate guidance based on their individual needs. 5 days ago Call now
