What is Pterygium Surgery

Pterygium surgery is a procedure used to remove a non-cancerous growth on the surface of the eye, known as a pterygium.The growth is usually fleshy, pink, and triangular in shape, and can grow over the cornea.

The purpose of the surgery is to remove the pterygium, preserving the health and clarity of the eye.The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about 45 minutes.

During the procedure, the pterygium is carefully removed from the eye and the area is repaired with tissue from the patient's own eye or from donor tissue.After the surgery, the eye may feel dry and irritated, and may need to be patched.

In order to prevent recurrence of the growth, it is often recommended to wear sunglasses or other eye protection when outdoors.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
