What is Pterygium?
Pterygium, often referred to as “surfer’s eye,” is a common eye condition where a benign growth develops on the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white part of your eye, potentially extending to the cornea. This growth can cause irritation and redness and, if left untreated, may lead to vision impairment. Factors such as excessive exposure to UV light, wind, and dust contribute to its development, making it more prevalent in certain environments and communities, particularly impacting our minority population at a higher rate.

Visual Discomfort or Impairment: Symptoms like blurred vision, irritation, or the feeling of a foreign body in the eye.
