What is pterygium ?

A fleshy growth from the conjunctiva onto the cornea, often due to UV, dust, or dryness. Larger growths can blur vision or irritate the eye.

Symptoms & when to seek help

Redness/irritation — persistent discomfort despite drops.

Cosmetic concern — visible growth near the cornea.

Astigmatism/blur — if the growth pulls on the cornea.

Recurrent inflammation — frequent flares despite protection.

Diagnosis & evaluation

Slit-lamp exam: Confirms size, vascularity, and encroachment onto the cornea.

Corneal topography: Maps astigmatism induced by the growth.

Tear film assessment: Dry eye commonly coexists and needs management.

Photographic documentation: Tracks progression for timing of surgery.

Rule-out atypia: Rarely, surface lesions mimic pterygium and need pathology.
