Kindly Refer to the detailed answer below

Detailed Answer:
Hello There

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that pterygium is a growth of clear tissue in the eye, which can cause a little bit of irritation in the eye.

It generally doesn’t require any treatment as it don’t harm the eye, but a self care is required like protection with sunglasses from dust and uv rays.

A surgical procedure to remove it is done if it interferes your vision or you need a cosmetic purpose.

Hopefully this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
