Pterygium removal is a surgical procedure to excise a pterygium, a benign growth of the conjunctiva, which is the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye. This growth often extends onto the cornea, the eye's transparent front surface, and can cause irritation, redness, and, in severe cases, visual impairment by distorting the cornea or blocking the visual axis. Pterygium commonly develops in people exposed to excessive ultraviolet (UV) light, wind, dust, or dry conditions, often referred to as "surfer's eye" because it is prevalent among those who spend a lot of time outdoors in sunny environments. Other contributing factors may include genetic predisposition and chronic eye inflammation. The primary reason for pterygium removal is to relieve symptoms like discomfort, redness, or a gritty sensation, and to prevent it from growing large enough to impair vision. While pterygium removal is generally safe and effective, potential complications can arise. These may include infection, scarring, corneal perforation, dry eye syndrome, and a recurrence of the pterygium, which is a common concern. Recurrence rates can be reduced by using adjunctive treatments such as conjunctival autografting, amniotic membrane transplantation, or applying medications like mitomycin C during surgery to inhibit regrowth. Patients undergoing pterygium removal are typically advised to protect their eyes from UV exposure post-surgery and to use prescribed eye drops to manage inflammation and promote healing. Regular follow-up with an ophthalmologist is essential to monitor for any signs of recurrence or complications.
