A pterygium is a fleshy overgrowth of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane on the eye's surface. It can lead to tear film instability, discomfort, and vision issues if it extends into the visual axis.
Pterygium removal without graft may cause recurrence.
Early removal prevents permanent corneal scarring.
Treatment Approach at Aloka Eye Clinic:
Our surgeons at Aloka perform advanced pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft with glue to prevent or minimize the possibility of recurrence and also ensure a speedy recovery.
