Remove Unsightly Growth and Restore Comfort
What is Pterygium Surgery? A Pterygium (often called "Surfer's Eye") is a fleshy, pink growth on the white of the eye, usually caused by sun and wind exposure. While benign, it can cause irritation, redness, and eventually distort your vision. We perform a specialized removal surgery that includes an autograft (using your own healthy tissue) to prevent regrowth.
What to Expect
- The Procedure: We carefully excise the growth and cover the area with a graft of your own clear conjunctiva.
- Glue-Free/Stitch-Free Options: We often use tissue adhesive instead of sutures for greater comfort.
Benefits & Recovery
- Cosmetic Improvement: Your eye will look white and healthy again.
- Better Vision: Removes the astigmatism and blurriness caused by the growth pulling on the cornea.
- Low Recurrence: Our advanced graft technique drastically reduces the chance of the growth coming back.
