How does eye pterygium treat

summary

The eyes are congested, red and swollen, and itchy. I dare not rub them with my hands. Later, after going to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that there is pterygium in the eyes, which needs to be treated immediately. I want to ask if it needs surgery. Can it be treated only by taking medicine? I'm afraid that I will be blind in the future.

How does eye pterygium treat

First: pterygium head subconjunctival transplantation: suitable for thin pterygium, less congestion. This kind of operation method is relatively simple, but it is easy to form wrinkles, hypertrophy and recurrence after operation, so it is rarely used at present.

Second: pterygium simple excision: it is suitable for those who have pterygium invading the cornea more often, who are progressive pterygium or close to the pupil edge, who threaten the visual function of the affected eye, or who have influence on the incision of cataract and corneal transplantation, or who will stimulate the development of pterygium after operation, or who have pterygium hindering the beauty of patients. This kind of operation method is also simple, the operation time is relatively short, but it is easy to relapse.

Third: pterygium excision combined with free conjunctival flap transplantation: suitable for pterygium larger and more congestive hypertrophy, faster growth, or pterygium excision conjunctival missing more. The operation of this method is relatively complex and difficult, and the conjunctival flap used for transplantation should be prevented from reverse, but the operation effect is good, and the postoperative recurrence rate is relatively low.
