Pterygium is a non-cancerous growth of tissue on the white part of the eye, often caused by prolonged exposure to UV light, dust, or wind. Symptoms include redness, irritation, a gritty feeling, and in some cases, blurred vision if the growth extends over the cornea. Treatment typically involves lubricating eye drops to reduce discomfort. In more severe cases, surgical removal may be necessary to prevent vision impairment.
