Pterygium Surgery in Pune

Pterygium is a triangular growth of conjunctival tissue that can extend onto the cornea. It is linked to sun, dust, wind, dryness, and chronic irritation. Surgery may use conjunctival autograft to reduce recurrence risk.

• Visible fleshy growth, redness, irritation, watering, foreign-body sensation, blurred vision, or cosmetic concern.
• Growth toward the pupil or increasing astigmatism needs timely assessment.
• Pain, discharge, or sudden vision change may indicate another condition.

• Use UV-protective sunglasses, hats, and lubricating drops in dusty or dry environments.
• Treat chronic allergy or dry eye.
• Avoid rubbing and attend reviews if the growth increases.

• Lubricating drops, anti-allergy drops, short-term anti-inflammatory drops under supervision, and observation for small stable pterygium.
• Non-surgical care can reduce irritation but does not remove the growth.

• Pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft, fibrin glue, sutures, or adjunctive medicines may be used.
• Follow-up is needed to monitor healing and recurrence.

An eye specialist reviews symptoms, vision changes, medical history, current medicines, eye pressure, refraction, and detailed eye examination findings before advising Pterygium Surgery. Tests such as slit-lamp examination, dilated retina check, OCT, fundus photography, corneal scan, visual field testing, or blood sugar review may be advised when relevant.

Recovery depends on the diagnosis and procedure. Many eye treatments are outpatient, but surgery or laser treatment may need eye drops, protective glasses, activity limits, and scheduled reviews. Follow-up is important because some eye diseases can progress silently even after symptoms improve.

Book an eye consultation for blurred vision, eye pain, redness, discharge, sudden floaters, flashes of light, double vision, light sensitivity, injury, diabetes-related vision changes, or persistent dryness. Sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, chemical injury, or a curtain-like shadow in vision needs urgent care.
