Major causes of pterygium include dryness in the eyes, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays, and environmental factors such as dust.
Diagnosis of pterygium growth involves various tests, including the slit lamp test, visual acuity test, corneal topography, and photo documentation, to assess its severity and progression.
Like any surgical procedure, pterygium surgery carries inherent risks, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Nevertheless, serious complications are rare occurrences.
The primary objective of pterygium removal is to prevent future vision impairment by halting its growth over the central cornea. However, it’s important to note that surgery may not effectively address symptoms such as redness or discomfort, which may require ongoing management with lubricating eye drops.
The most prevalent complication of Pterygium is recurrence. Post-operative complications of pterygium surgery may include infection, corneal scarring, reaction to suture material, retinal detachment (rarely), conjunctival graft dehiscence, and diplopia.
