Pterygium Repair Treatment in India

Karan Davis, a 58-year-old retired construction supervisor from Arizona, spent decades working outdoors in the harsh desert sun. For the past five years, he noticed a fleshy, pinkish growth slowly creeping from the corner of his right eye toward his pupil. It caused a persistent gritty, burning sensation, as if he always had sand in his eye. His vision became increasingly blurry and irritated, making it difficult to enjoy his favorite pastime of reading. His ophthalmologist, Dr. Lee, explained that this was a pterygium, a benign growth likely caused by long-term UV exposure. She recommended surgical removal as it was now affecting his vision and causing significant discomfort. Karan was anxious about eye surgery but trusted Dr. Lee. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia, was quick and painless. In the week following, his eye was red, watery, and sensitive, requiring diligent use of steroid and antibiotic drops. Within a month, the redness subsided dramatically. The constant irritation was gone, and his vision cleared. Karan felt a profound sense of relief and wished he hadn't endured the discomfort for so long out of fear. He now never leaves the house without UV-protective sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.
