Pterygium Surgery

What is pterygium surgery?

Pterygium surgery is a procedure used to remove a growth of tissue that develops on the conjunctiva and may extend onto the cornea. A pterygium can cause redness, irritation, a foreign body sensation, and vision changes as it progresses.

When is pterygium surgery recommended?

Surgery may be recommended when the pterygium grows toward the cornea, affects vision, causes persistent discomfort, or significantly affects the ocular surface. The ophthalmologist evaluates its size, location, and progression to determine whether removal is appropriate.

What specialist performs pterygium surgery?

The procedure is performed by an ophthalmologist specializing in cornea and anterior segment surgery. The specialist evaluates the pterygium and determines the most appropriate surgical technique for each patient.
