Pterygium is a non-cancerous growth that starts in the clear, thin tissue of the eye (conjunctiva) and can extend onto the cornea. Often associated with prolonged exposure to sunlight or wind, it appears as a raised, wedge-shaped growth. Symptoms may include redness, irritation, and blurred vision if the growth invades the cornea significantly. Treatment ranges from lubricating eye drops to surgical removal in severe cases.
Pterygium is a weird bump that can grow on your eyeball, usually from being in the sun too much. It can make your eye red and feel scratchy, and sometimes it can make it hard to see well.
