Understanding Relief Options for Pterygium: Eyedrops and Surgical Removal Explained
Pterygium, often referred to as “surfer’s eye,” is a benign growth of tissue that develops on the white part of the eye and can extend toward the cornea. While it is non-cancerous, it can cause redness, irritation, dryness, vision distortion, and cosmetic concerns. People living in sunny, dusty, or windy climates are more likely to develop it, making awareness and management essential. Over time, many treatments have emerged, ranging from soothing eyedrops to surgical removal, depending on the condition’s severity.
