Understanding Pterygium (Surfer's Eye)

A pterygium is a raised, wing-shaped growth that develops on the eye's surface, extending from the white part onto the cornea. Often called "surfer's eye," it typically results from prolonged exposure to UV light, wind, and environmental irritants.

Watch for these key symptoms:

  • βœ“ Persistent eye redness and irritation
  • βœ“ Foreign body sensation
  • βœ“ Burning or itching discomfort
  • βœ“ Vision changes or distortion
  • βœ“ Contact lens intolerance
  • βœ“ Noticeable eye appearance changes

⚠️ Early intervention is crucial - untreated pterygium can progressively grow across your cornea, potentially causing permanent vision changes. Schedule a consultation today for expert evaluation.
