Pterygium Surgery

A pterygium is a benign growth of the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye, which can extend onto the cornea. This condition is commonly caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight, dust, wind, or dry environments. At Srijan Eye and Mother Care, Gorakhpur, we provide advanced pterygium surgery services to restore eye health, reduce discomfort, and prevent vision impairment.

Pterygium can cause redness, irritation, foreign body sensation, tearing, and in advanced cases, distortion of vision. Early evaluation and management are crucial to prevent complications and maintain clear vision. Our experienced ophthalmology team carefully examines each patient using slit-lamp biomicroscopy and other diagnostic tools to determine the size, severity, and surgical requirement of the growth.

We specialize in modern pterygium removal techniques, which may include:

• Conjunctival Autograft – The most effective method where a small piece of healthy conjunctiva is transplanted to cover the affected area, reducing the risk of recurrence.

• Amniotic Membrane Grafting – Used in cases where the conjunctiva is insufficient or for recurrent pterygium, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.

• Fibrin Glue or Sutures – Advanced methods to secure grafts safely, ensuring minimal discomfort and faster recovery.

Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art surgical facilities, microscopes, and precision instruments to ensure safe and precise removal of the pterygium while preserving the cornea and surrounding eye structures.

Post-operative care is essential for optimal recovery. Patients receive instructions on medications, eye drops, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits to monitor healing, prevent infection, and minimize the risk of recurrence.

At Srijan Eye and Mother Care, our pterygium surgery services focus on restoring comfort, protecting vision, and enhancing eye health for residents of Gorakhpur and surrounding areas. With expert surgical care, advanced techniques, and compassionate support, we ensure patients achieve the best possible outcomes while maintaining clear and healthy vision.
