What is Understanding Pterygium: Causes and Care about?

A pterygium is a non-cancerous growth on the conjunctiva, the clear tissue over the white part of the eye, which is more common in people with excessive outdoor exposure to sunlight and wind. Symptoms include a painless area of elevated white tissue with blood vessels on the edge of the cornea. While most pterygium cause no issues and need no treatment, surgery may be required if it begins to block vision, with good results usually seen after removal, though there is a risk it could return.
