Hello doctor,

I am suffering from pterygium from last two years. I feel a burning sensation and redness in my eyes the whole day, currently using rose water as suggested by an Ayurvedic doctor. Is there any drops which heal it permanently without surgery? I found one online. Could you please suggest if it works for me? I am sharing the picture below. Kindly go through and advise me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This is a very small pterygium. I would not recommend surgery for this small pterygium. I am sorry but there is no medicine to treat pterygium. One may claim anything, but we usually do not recommend any medicine unless it is approved by FDI. You may use lubricating eyedrop frequently for irritation. I hope this will help you. Regards.
