How to treat sclerolysis after pterygium surgery

Postoperative scleral lysis after pterygium surgery may be caused by damage to the sclera itself or blood vessels caused by the surgery. Patients may use anti-inflammatory drugs or transplantation surgery as prescribed by the doctor, and the specific treatment is related to the patient’s condition. During pterygium excision, laser cauterization may damage the sclera cells or blood vessels on the sclera surface, resulting in localized dissolution of the sclera due to insufficient blood supply. When the symptoms are mild, patients can be treated with anti-inflammatory eye drops, such as flumethasone eye drops, as prescribed by the doctor. If after pterygium surgery, the patient’s scleral lysis damage is serious, the area is large or even perforated, the patient needs to undergo surgical treatment to repair the sclera through surgery, such as amniotic membrane transplantation. It is recommended that patients with sclereolysis after pterygium surgery should consult a doctor promptly to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions.
