Pterygium

What is Pterygium ?

Pterygium, also known as "surfer's eye," is a noncancerous growth of tissue on the conjunctiva (the clear, thin tissue covering the white part of the eye) that can extend onto the cornea. It's often shaped like a wedge. While it can be a cosmetic concern, it's generally not painful but can cause irritation and, if it grows onto the cornea, vision problems.
