A peripheral pterygium is a benign growth of tissue on the conjunctiva that can extend onto the cornea. It is often associated with UV exposure and can cause irritation or visual disturbances.
A stationary pterygium may be monitored if asymptomatic. If it causes discomfort or affects vision, treatment options include lubricating eye drops or surgical excision.
Risks include recurrence of the pterygium, infection, and complications related to anesthesia. Proper patient selection and surgical technique can minimize these risks.
