What is Understanding Pterygium: Causes & Effects about?

Pterygium is a common ocular surface lesion characterized by the growth of altered conjunctiva onto the cornea, often linked to ultraviolet light exposure. It can lead to complications such as astigmatism and higher-order aberrations, and its management may involve surgical intervention. The condition is associated with various ocular and systemic complications, and its pathogenesis remains an area of ongoing research, with factors including inflammation and environmental triggers playing significant roles.
