Pterygium Surgery in West Bengal

Why Pterygium Surgery Is Needed

Pterygium surgery removes a wing-shaped growth of tissue on the white of the eye (conjunctiva) that extends onto the cornea, typically caused by prolonged exposure to UV light, wind, dust, and dry conditions, common in people who spend a lot of time outdoors. Surgery is recommended when the growth causes irritation, redness, or begins to encroach on the cornea enough to threaten vision.
