What to do if you have a jelly film on the whites of your eyes

A layer of jelly film in the white of the eye may be caused by pterygium, blepharospasm, conjunctival cysts, etc. Patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, surgical treatment and other ways of treatment to alleviate the discomfort of the eye.
1. Pterygium: Pterygium patients may have a fibrovascular membrane in the corner of the eye, and patients may experience discomfort such as a foreign body sensation in the eye. Small and static pterygium does not need treatment for the time being, and patients should reduce the stimulation of wind, sand and sunlight. However, if the progressive development of pterygium violates the pupil area, patients can have surgical treatment, such as pterygium excision combined with amniotic membrane transplantation, etc., to alleviate ocular discomfort.
2. Blepharospasm: Blepharospasm is usually caused by ultraviolet light or photochemical exposure. A triangular elevated grayish-yellow plaque containing yellow transparent elastic tissue may appear in the conjunctiva at the corneal limbus of the patient. Generally, no treatment is needed. If the affected area becomes congested and the surface becomes rough, the patient can undergo surgical treatment as prescribed by the doctor to remove the lesion and relieve the eye discomfort.
3. Conjunctival cysts: Conjunctival cysts are caused by trauma, surgery and other abnormal conjunctival proliferation, patients can be treated with conjunctival cystectomy to improve the appearance of the eye to relieve discomfort.
It is recommended that patients with proliferative membranes in the eye should consult a doctor in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
