Pterygium Excision

The primary reason to have surgery for pterygium is when the growth begins to cover the pupil, which leads to visual problems or astigmatism. If eye drops or ointments don't help, your doctor may suggest surgery to remove the pterygium.

Pterygium surgery is a procedure that removes non-cancerous growths from the outermost layer of the eye. Your doctor will sedate you and numb your eyes to prevent discomfort during surgery. They will then clean the surrounding areas. Your doctor will remove the pterygium along with some associated conjunctiva tissue. Once the pterygium is removed, your doctor will replace it with a graft of associated membrane tissue to prevent recurrent pterygium growths.

It is important to do your research when looking for a doctor to perform Pterygium surgery. Scrutinize the physician's credentials and patient testimonials to determine if they are right for you. In addition, choose a clinic with knowledgeable and caring staff members in order to find the best doctor for Pterygium surgery.
