“This treatment has given our family a new life. My father had lost almost 99% of his vision, and we had lost all hope that he would ever see the world again. He was not ready for surgery, but Dr. Gogia planned the treatment so well and performed the operation successfully. Today, my father can see again. Thank you, Dr. Gogia, for your excellent care, dedication, and life-changing treatment. We are truly grateful.”

Pristyn Care in Janakpuri offers practical solutions for pterygium, a growth on the eye surface. Let’s explore some treatments available.
Pterygium excision is a procedure where the doctor removes the pterygium, which is a non-cancerous growth from the eye’s surface. This growth often appears on the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the whites of your eyes. It can cause discomfort or vision issues if it grows over the cornea. The procedure involves numbing your eye with anaesthetic drops and then carefully cutting away the growth. The surgery is done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the same day. After the procedure, you might need to wear an eye patch for a day or so to protect your eye while it heals. The doctor will prescribe eye drops to reduce swelling and prevent infection. Most people recover quickly and find relief from symptoms like irritation and redness.
This is a more advanced option for treating pterygium. After removing the pterygium, the surgeon takes a small piece of healthy tissue from another part of your conjunctiva (the membrane covering your eye) and uses it to cover the area where the growth was removed. This helps reduce the chances of the pterygium coming back. The process is usually done with local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel comfortable and relaxed during the surgery. It’s a well-proven method with a high success rate in preventing recurrence. Post-surgery, you’ll use special eye drops to aid healing and to avoid infection. Protecting your eyes from sun exposure by wearing sunglasses is also crucial during recovery to ensure optimal results.

Pterygium is a non-cancerous growth on the eye’s surface, often caused by too much exposure to sunlight. It can make the eyes feel uncomfortable and might affect vision.
Usually, things like UV rays from the sun, wind, dust, and even pollution or chemicals cause pterygium.
A doctor will examine your eyes to determine the size of the growth and assess whether it’s affecting your vision.
You could use eye drops to ease symptoms or have surgery to remove bigger growths.
Surgery works well for many, but without proper aftercare, the growth might come back.
If the growth affects your vision significantly, insurance should cover the surgery.
To prevent pterygium, wear sunglasses and hats to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and windy conditions.
Recovery may take a few weeks, but if it involves significant growth, full healing could take several months.
