Look Younger and Healthier with Pterygium Surgery
Clear Your Eye with Pterygium Surgery
Have you noticed a growth in your eye that may be uncomfortable and distracting? It may be a pterygium, a slightly-raised, superficial growth that covers the white part of the eye and extends onto the cornea and could blur your vision and/or cause red eyes.
It is believed that these lesions affect those who:
- Have extended exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun (working outdoors, surfing, etc.)
- Live in dry, windy, smoky, or dusty climates
These growths are often harmless and can usually be treated with topical eye drops. However, in some cases, the drops may not be enough. At Eye Center of La Jolla, we offer the most novel technique of pterygium surgery that causes little to no pain without using stitches that can irritate the eye.
At Eye Center of La Jolla, we offer our San Diego patients not only vision correction procedures, including bladeless LASIK, refractive lens exchange, and cataract surgery, but also pterygium surgery, which may also affect your vision.
To schedule an appointment call Eye Center of La Jolla at (858) 457-2220.
