Pterygium

I got surgery on my right eye to remove Pterygium this morning. Surgery took about 20 minutes. My eye needs itching but I can't touch my eye. Boy, can't wait to see Doctor tomorrow.

for a week or so then the redness goes away but it'll come back again whether it's days, weeks, or months....this has been going on for a few years...do you think this can be pterygium??????

Hi NaturallyMe91, no, pterygium is part of grown skin (like red rivers around the white eye). No idea what caused this. Doc think it grown intenting to protect the eye from the bright sun or strong wind. Pterygium does not have bump at all. Hope doc will help you out. Jack

im glad people can fix this to prevent blindness.when i found out pinguecula was malformed collagen i dropped aspirin and treated myself for scurvy. it seems to be reversing the process. to think all my blood vessels looked like the ouside of my eyeball. it a wonder i wasnt dead.
