Pterygium Removal Eye Surgery In India-Affordable Low Cost Eye Surgery

 

Pterygium Removal Eye Surgery

Pterygium (pronounced “tur-RIDGE-ium”) is a benign thickening of the outer coating (conjunctiva) of the eye that grows onto the cornea. As a pterygium grows, it may become red and irritated. Eventually, it may cause visual disturbances by disrupting the normally smooth surface of the cornea. In severe cases, a pterygium can block a patient’s vision altogether.

 

Pterygium surgery can be performed under local anaesthesia(awake) or general anaesthesia (asleep). The choice is based on the anticipated length and difficulty of the operation, your suitability for different sorts of anaesthesia, your own preferences and your surgeon’s advice.

 

Treatment

Pterygiums are usually caused by extended exposure to sunlight. They may remain stable after appearing, or they may grow and affect vision. Treatments include eye drops for irritation and redness, protection from sunlight and dust to prevent the pterygium from worsening, and occasionally steroids to lessen inflammation.

 

Pterygium Surgery

In surgery, the pterygium is removed and a small piece of the conjunctiva, which is the thin transparent skin that covers the white of the eye, is placed into this site from under the upper lid. The surgery is performed under local anaesthetic. There should be no pain during the surgery, which takes approximately half an hour. Following the procedure, a prescription is given for eye ointment or eye drops and analgesic tablets.

 

Re-growth may occur

In traditional “bare sclera” pterygium removal, the underlying white of the eye (sclera) is left exposed. Healing occurs over two to four weeks with mild to moderate discomfort. Unfortunately, the pterygium may grow back, sometimes larger than its original size.Our specialists have solution to stop this recurrence.

 

Benefits

The main reason for removing a pterygium is to prevent future loss of eyesight by stopping the pterygium from growing over the central area of the cornea. Other symptoms such as redness or discomfort are not as easily treated by surgery and are best treated, where the possible by more simple methods, such as the use of lubricant eye drops.
