Surgery for polyps in the eye, also called pterygium surgery, is very routine eye surgery. If the surgery is done on one eye, the cost is around$2,000. For both eyes, the cost is in the range of$3,000. The fees may vary slightly from one level of hospital to another or from one region to another. Pterygium is a very common disease in ophthalmology, usually due to abnormal growth of the conjunctiva. In the early stages when the symptoms are not too obvious, surgery is not recommended and can be observed conservatively. If the pterygium is growing larger or faster and has invaded the cornea, causing astigmatism or vision loss, surgery may be considered. The most common surgical procedure is pterygium excision combined with autologous corneal limbal stem cell transplantation, which has the advantage of effectively reducing the chance of recurrence of the disease.
