Get Free ConsultationOverview
A pterygium is a non-cancerous growth of conjunctival tissue that extends onto the cornea, often caused by sun exposure, wind or dry conditions. Pterygium surgery involves removing the abnormal tissue and applying a conjunctival autograft (tissue from the patient’s own eye) to prevent recurrence. Modern techniques use tissue glue instead of stitches for faster, more comfortable recovery.
