"Pterygium" is a benign conjunctival lesion, referring to the growth of fibrous tissue along the cornea that resembles the wings of an insect, hence the name "pterygium." When the pterygium grows towards the eyeball, it can significantly impact daily life, causing decreased vision, increased astigmatism, and noticeable discomfort in the eyes. In fact, small and non-growing pterygia generally do not require treatment, but under what circumstances is treatment necessary? Let ophthalmologist Dr. Tang explain in detail!
