Frequently Asked Questions 

What happens if pterygium therapy is not taken? 

When pterygium therapy is neglected, the cornea becomes distorted, and astigmatism develops. 

Will the patient's vision be improved by removing the pterygium? 

After a successful procedure, your vision should improve if your pterygium is creating a deformation of the cornea, which is the crystalline window of the eye. However, you will require new prescription lenses.  Even after a successful surgical procedure, the cornea may occasionally remain scarred and distorted, and the pterygium may not regrow. 

What is the duration of the pterygium excision procedure?

 If it is a first-time resection, the procedure will take roughly one hour.  The length of the procedure could increase to one or two hours if the pterygium has previously been removed. 

Do I get pterygium, too, because other family members have it? 

It is unlikely that pterygium is hereditary, but it may be if your family members are exposed to the sun as much. 

Is there anything that a patient is prohibited from doing after surgery? 

For about a month, the patient should avoid swimming and may find it difficult to drive or work for several days after surgery because of temporary blurred vision and eye irritation. 

What's the duration of this pain? 

The pain usually lasts 1 to 3 days, and the patient can be given a dose of painkillers. 

Is it possible that pterygium caused my vision loss? 

It is very unlikely that pterygium will cause blindness, but if you do not pay attention to this and it continues to grow, your ability to see may be severely impaired. 

Is an anesthetic used in pterygium surgery? 

The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, lasting four to six hours following the procedure. 

After surgery, will the patient be required to take a break from work? 

The patient will have to take a week or two off from work following the procedure. The day following the procedure, the doctor will provide you with a medical certificate for your employer, if necessary. 

Could you get infected? 

You will receive antibiotic drops for one week and wear a sterile bandage when showering or entering the dirty environment for 2 weeks after laser treatment for pterygium because there is always a small risk of infection. It is extremely rare for an infection to occur within two weeks of surgery
