Pterygium Surgery

The word pterygium in Greek means 'little wing'. It is a layer of tissue that gets enlarged and abnormal, when the little vessels & connective tissues of your white eye membrane become thick.

This progressive tissue is called fibroblastic tissue. It progresses in stages, disrupting the aesthetics of the eye on one hand and leading to visual impairment on the other. Usually, it occurs inside the eye, near

A pterygium can affect both eyes, but it's not contagious - so you don't have to worry about anyone else in your family being able to catch it. But it can lead to permanent vision loss if not surgically intervened.

The most common symptom of the disease is a tissue that grows in the inner part of your eye. It can also come with symptoms such as itching or burning. The disease starts in the white part of the front of the eye and progresses to the cornea layer if not intervened. In the progression of fibroblastic tissue, which can cause astigmatism over time, the problem of visual deterioration also arises.

When should my childs eyes be examined?

Most physicians prescribe vision tests as part of a child's medical examination. They may refer a child to see an eye doctor (aka ophthalmologist) if there is any visible sign of a vision problem.


Pediatricians recommend the first eye test for children to take place in hospital - as part of their routine post-treatment checkup. A pediatrician or physician will also check your children's vision during a routine well-child exam, usually at two, four and six months of age. Later amblyopia and alignment screenings should take place between the ages of three-years-old and four years old and then yearly thereafter.

When should an adults eyes be examined?

It's important to monitor your eyesight by getting an eye exam. For adults, this should be done every three-five years or whenever a noticeable change occurs. Young adults (ages 20 - 39) should have their eyes examined once a year.


Adults aged (40-64 year olds) should have their eyes examined every two-four years.

Seniors (over 65 years of ages) should have their eyes examined every year to two years



High risk adults include:

What is visual acuity?

The Acuity of the eye is the measure of its ability to identify and distinguish the minutest details and shapes in symbolic or written form at a distance of 20 feet. This measurement is typically given in decimal form. The top number refers to the distance in feet, while the bottom number denotes the visual distance. So, perfect vision is 20/20.

What is Myopia ?

Myopia is often called "short-sightedness" or "near-sighted." But it can be corrected with good contact lenses, eyeglasses, or surgical techniques.

What is Hyperopia ?

Hyperopia is often referred to as "long-sightedness" or "far-sighted". Generally, hyperopia is when the eye is too short for the focal point. (ie an emmetropic eye or eye requiring no optical correction) or this is because the eye's power of sight is weaker than the distance. The focus is correctly adjusted using a "plus" lens power or convex lens.
