Advanced Pterygium Surgery for Healthy Eyes
A pterygium, commonly known as eye flesh growth, is a non-cancerous growth of tissue on the white part of the eye that can gradually extend onto the cornea. It is often caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight, dust, wind, and dry environmental conditions. If left untreated, a pterygium can lead to irritation, redness, blurred vision, and may eventually affect eyesight.
At Agariya Hospital, we provide advanced Pterygium Surgery performed by an experienced MS Ophthalmologist using modern surgical techniques. Our goal is to safely remove the abnormal tissue, restore eye comfort, improve appearance, and protect your vision with personalized post-operative care.
