- Is It necessary to remove pterygium?
Pterygium does not always require surgery, but removal becomes necessary if it affects vision, causes persistent discomfort, grows aggressively, or interferes with contact lens wear. Modern techniques such as conjunctival autograft significantly reduce recurrence risk and promote effective healing. Recovery typically takes four to six weeks with proper post operative care and UV protection. Ms Radhika Rampat, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon in London, provides expert assessment and advanced surgical management to ensure optimal long term outcomes and patient confidence.
