What is Pterygium?

Close,Up,Of,The,Pterygium,During,Eye,Examination,For,Wallpaper
Peterygium is a harmless, non-malignant conjunctival tissue proliferation, which is on the white portion of the eye. It often starts on the nasal side and may slowly progress onto the cornea which results in irritation, redness, dryness, and blurred vision. When not addressed, it can influence vision and eye discomfort, and it is vital to consider such conditions and treat them with the help of an eye specialist.

Symptoms of Pterygium

  • Redness or inflammation in the affected eye.
  • Persistent itching, burning, or irritation.
  • Sensation of a foreign body in the eye.
  • Dryness or gritty feeling in the eyes.
  • In advanced cases, the growth may extend onto the cornea, causing blurred vision.
  • Excessive tearing or watery discharge.

What Causes Pterygium in the Eye?

UV Light Exposure

Prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays is the most common cause.

Environmental Irritants

Constant contact with dust, wind, smoke, or dry weather can trigger tissue growth.

Age Factor

People above 60 years are more prone to developing pterygium.

Genetic Predisposition

Family history may increase the likelihood of occurrence.

Vitamin A Deficiency

Low vitamin A levels can weaken the eye’s surface protection.

Viral Infection

Certain viral factors, such as human papillomavirus (HPV), can contribute to the condition.

Diagnosis & Treatment at Shivyaa Hospital

Our Diagnostic Process

The first step toward clear vision and healthy eyes begins with an accurate diagnosis. Our eye specialists use advanced tools and careful evaluation to detect pterygium effectively.

  • Comprehensive Eye Examination: Using a slit-lamp microscope, our experts closely examine the front and inner structures of your eye. This magnified view helps identify even small growths and assess their progression.
  • Corneal Topography & Tomography: Advanced imaging creates detailed 3D corneal maps, revealing early signs of steepening and thinning characteristic of keratoconus progression.
  • Regular Monitoring: If the pterygium is small and symptom-free, our specialists monitor it with scheduled follow-ups to ensure it doesn’t affect your vision or eye health.
Our Targeted Treatment Philosophy

Every eye deserves personalized care. Based on the severity and progression of your pterygium, we recommend treatments that focus on relief, protection, and prevention.

  • Medication for Mild Cases: Lubricating eye drops or ointments are prescribed to reduce irritation and dryness. For severe discomfort, a short course of steroid drops may be used to control inflammation.
  • Protective Measures: To prevent further UV exposure and slow pterygium growth, our specialists recommend using wraparound UV-protective sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats when outdoors.
  • Surgical Removal (When Needed): If the growth starts extending toward the cornea or interferes with vision, our surgeons perform a safe, precise, suture less (no-stitch) removal procedure to restore clear sight and comfort.
