Pterygium is a non-cancerous growth of tissue on the white part of the eye (conjunctiva) that can extend onto the cornea and affect vision. Common causes include:

1. Excessive exposure to sunlight or UV radiation

2. Wind, dust, or dry eye conditions
3. Chronic eye irritation
4. Environmental pollutants

When it grows over the cornea, it may cause vision disturbances and requires surgical removal.

We perform advanced surgical techniques designed for optimal cosmetic and visual outcomes:

1. Bare Sclera Excision:
   Removal of pterygium leaving the sclera exposed (higher recurrence risk).

2. Conjunctival Autografting:
   A tissue graft from the same eye is placed over the excised area to prevent regrowth.

3. Sutureless (Fibrin Glue-Assisted) Grafting:
   No stitches required, ensuring faster recovery and less irritation.

As pterygium surgery doesn’t involve lens replacement, this section is not applicable.

Our focus is on restoring the eye’s surface integrity and appearance through precision surgical care

1. Detailed eye examination and slit-lamp evaluation

2. Imaging to assess corneal involvement

3. UV protection advice and tear film stabilization

1. Outpatient procedure under local anesthesia

2. Surgery duration: approximately 30–45 minutes

3. Tissue grafting to minimize recurrence

1. Mild redness or discomfort for a few days

2. Eye drops to aid healing and prevent infection

3. Avoidance of sun and dust exposure for 2–3 weeks

4. Follow-ups to check for healing and regrowth

Pterygium surgery is generally safe. Rare complications may include:

1. Recurrence of pterygium (less with grafting)

2. Redness or irritation during healing

3. Graft displacement or inflammation

4. Infection (extremely rare)

5. Corneal scarring in aggressive cases

Our skilled surgical team ensures meticulous care to minimize these risks.
