Are you bothered by a fleshy growth on your eye's surface? Don't worry; we're here to help. At Total Eye Clinic, we specialize in the precise removal of pterygium, restoring both comfort and aesthetics to your eyes.
What is Pterygium?
Pterygium, often called "surfer's eye," is a non-cancerous growth that develops on the white part of the eye, usually due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, dust, or wind. While it's generally harmless, it can cause irritation, redness, and even affect vision if left untreated.
Our Procedure:
Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough examination by our experienced ophthalmologists. We'll assess the size, location, and impact of the pterygium on your eye health and vision.
Preparation: Before the procedure, we'll discuss the details with you and address any concerns you may have. Our team ensures you're comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Excision: Using state-of-the-art techniques, our skilled surgeons delicately remove the pterygium from the surface of your eye. We take great care to minimize discomfort and preserve the surrounding tissue.
Grafting: Following excision, we employ grafting techniques to prevent the pterygium from regrowing and to promote healing. This involves transplanting a thin layer of tissue, typically from your own conjunctiva or a tissue bank, onto the affected area.
Recovery: After the procedure, we provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Our team is available to address any questions or concerns you may have during this time.
Benefits of Excision & Grafting:
Improved Comfort: By removing the pterygium, we alleviate the discomfort and irritation it causes, allowing you to enjoy greater comfort and relief.
Enhanced Appearance: Grafting restores the natural contour of your eye, enhancing its appearance and restoring your confidence.
Reduced Risk of Recurrence: Our meticulous approach minimizes the chances of the pterygium returning, ensuring long-lasting results and peace of mind.
