Pterygium in the eye mostly refers to pterygium, which can be treated by patients through observation and follow-up and surgical treatment to relieve eye discomfort.
Pterygium is mainly caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays, frequent outdoor activities, etc., leading to abnormal proliferation of soft tissues under the conjunctiva. If the size of the pterygium is small and the patient has no obvious discomfort symptoms, no special treatment can be carried out for the time being and observation and follow-up can be done.
If the size of pterygium is large, even blocking the pupil, patients may experience vision loss, foreign body sensation and other uncomfortable symptoms, patients can follow the doctor’s advice to perform surgical treatment, such as pterygium excision combined with amniotic membrane transplantation, to alleviate the discomfort of the eye.
It is recommended that patients with pterygium should consult a doctor in time to evaluate their condition and under the guidance of the doctor.
