Pterygium Surgery
If a pterygium or pinguecula is causing irritation, affecting your vision, or changing the appearance of your eye, we may recommend a same-day procedure to remove it.
Recovery usually involves drops or ointment and a few follow-up visits. Any mild discomfort or redness improve over time, and most patients say their eyes feel much more comfortable and look clearer after the procedure.

About Pterygium
A pterygium and a pinguecula are common growths that appear on the surface of the eye, often caused by chronic irritation from long-term exposure to sunlight, wind, or dust.
A pinguecula looks like a small, yellowish bump on the white part of the eye, while a pterygium can grow further onto the clear part of the eye and may cause redness, irritation, or blurry vision. These growths are usually harmless, but we monitor them during your exam and can provide treatments to reduce discomfort.
If a pterygium begins to affect your vision or continues to grow, surgery may be recommended to remove it.
