Suggest Treatment For Swollen Eye

I just came from my eye doctor. He said I have a pindictum . I m sure I m spelling this totally wrong. He said its from being in the sun a lot and mine just happens to be a bit swollen. Do you know the correct spelling for this ? I want to read up on it.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having swollen because of inflammation of pterygium.
Thus is pterygium and not pindictum.

This requires treatment by the use of antiinflammatory drugs.
Once inflammation is controlled definitive treatment in the form of surgical excision needs to be done.

If possible do send a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you more accurately.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
