👁️ What is a Pterygium?

A pterygium (commonly known as surfer’s eye) is a non-cancerous, triangular-shaped growth of the conjunctiva that extends onto the cornea. It is often caused by long-term exposure to UV light, dust, wind, or dryness.

Symptoms may include:

• Redness and irritation

• Foreign body sensation

• Blurred vision (if the growth extends onto the cornea)

• Cosmetic concern due to visible eye growth

🏥 When is Pterygium Surgery Needed?

Surgery is recommended if:

• The pterygium is growing rapidly

• It threatens or affects your vision

• There is recurrent irritation or inflammation

• For cosmetic correction

1. Preoperative Evaluation

• Comprehensive eye exam to assess pterygium size and corneal involvement

• Discussion about surgery type, expectations, risks, and post-op care

2. Surgical Method

Dr. Labonnyo uses the Conjunctival Autograft Technique, which has a low recurrence rate and excellent cosmetic results.

Procedure Highlights:

• Performed under local anesthesia

• The pterygium is carefully excised from the eye surface

• A healthy piece of conjunctiva (usually from the upper part of your eye) is transplanted to cover the excised area

• Tissue is secured using very fine sutures or tissue glue

• Surgery time: ~30 to 45 minutes

• No hospital admission required (daycare procedure)

3. Post-Surgery Care

• Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops for 2–4 weeks

• Avoid rubbing the eyes or exposure to dust/UV rays

• Protective sunglasses recommended during outdoor activities

• Follow-up visits to monitor healing and prevent recurrence
