Pteregium treatment without surgery
Hello Mr Ramesh Babu,
While non-surgical approaches can help ease symptoms of pterygium, it's important to note that these treatments may not provide a complete cure. They are primarily aimed at relieving irritation and inflammation.
These non-surgical options, such as using lubricating eye drops, topical medications, and wearing sunglasses, are beneficial for managing symptoms.
However, in cases where the pterygium grows significantly, blocking vision or causing changes in corneal shape leading to astigmatism, surgery might be necessary for a more definitive solution.
Advanced surgical techniques are often employed for the removal of pterygium, offering minimal discomfort, faster recovery, and reduced risk of recurrence. The surgical procedure involves carefully excising the pterygium and, in some cases, using a graft to cover the affected area.
If you have concerns or want a personalized assessment, our HexaHealth team is here to assist you with top ophthalmologists nearby.
Take care!
