Pterygium Surgery

What Is Pterygium and Pterygium Surgery?

A pterygium is a benign fibrovascular growth that develops from the conjunctiva and gradually extends onto the cornea. It may cause eye irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision, and cosmetic concerns. If left untreated, a pterygium can continue to grow, eventually covering the pupil and leading to significant vision impairment.

Pterygium surgery is the most effective treatment to remove the growth, reduce the risk of recurrence, improve vision, and restore the eye’s appearance.
  • The pterygium extends into the visual axis or causes significant astigmatism.
  • The patient experiences persistent irritation, redness, or discomfort.
  • The pterygium interferes with wearing contact lenses.
  • Surgery is needed before cataract surgery or refractive surgery.
  • The patient wishes to improve the cosmetic appearance of the eye.

Who Is at Risk of Developing a Pterygium?

  • Spend long hours outdoors and are frequently exposed to sunlight, dust, and wind (such as farmers, fishermen, and construction workers).
  • Live in tropical or subtropical climates.
  • Have a history of chronic conjunctivitis.
  • Have a family history or genetic predisposition.

The Surgical Process at Alina

The micro-incision (only 2–3 mm) is sutureless and self-sealing, typically healing within 4–6 hours post-operatively. Patients may resume normal eating and daily activities within 24 hours. Activities such as driving and light exercise can generally be resumed within approximately 3 days.

Advantages of Pterygium Surgery at Alina

  • Uses the autologous conjunctival graft technique to minimize recurrence.
  • Advanced techniques, including amniotic membrane transplantation and anti-metabolite therapy, are available for large or high-risk recurrent cases.
  • A quick, virtually painless procedure.
  • Experienced ophthalmologists.
  • Modern equipment and strict sterile protocols ensure patient safety.
  • Fast recovery with a low risk of complications.
  • Complimentary follow-up examinations after 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month.
