What Does White Growth Covering Eye Indicate?
Hi, my nephew is suffering from an eye problem that my family and other doctors dont know what it is. The illness seems to be a white growing stuff covering his left eye. So far he had 2 surgeries to have it removed but it keeps reoccuring. Im trying to know exactly what it is as the white stuff keeps growing and growing....

Hello
It seems from the history that your nephew is having a growth over his eye.
This is probably a pterygium and it is known to recur after surgery.
There are surgeries to prevent its recurrence like use of anti metabolites like Mitonycin C or surgery by lumbal conjunctival graft.
Hence I advice you to send me more details like working diagnosis and surgery it was done so that I can advice you more accurately.
Thank you
