Pterygium Removal

Pterygium Removal

Pterygium, also known as “surfer’s eye”, is a non-cancerous growth of tissue on the clear surface of the eye (conjunctiva) that can extend onto the cornea. While small pterygia may only cause redness or irritation, larger ones can affect vision, cause discomfort, or lead to cosmetic concerns. Pterygium removal surgery is performed when the growth becomes bothersome or vision-threatening

When Pterygium Removal is Needed

  • Persistent redness, irritation, or burning sensation

  • Foreign body sensation in the eye

  • Blurred or distorted vision if the growth encroaches on the cornea

  • Cosmetic concerns due to visible eye growth

  • Recurrence of pterygium despite medical treatment
