Large Progressive Pterygium
I have been working with this wonderful patient for quite sometime. He presented with a tissue growth which became very irritated repeatedly. After some steroid therapy to calm the tissue down, we sent him out for a pterygium removal with amniotic tissue transplant recommendation. The tissue was peeled and amniotic tissue was transplanted over the section. The second photo is taken about 1- month during his post-op care with us. He is doing wonderful and neither the pterygium nor the redness has returned.
Pterygia are a direct result of degenerating conjunctival tissue. They are fleshy, triangular shaped tissue located on the inside white of the eye. As this degeneration progresses, the tissue slowly grows and extends onto the front of the cornea. While generally not visually threatening, pterygium do get inflamed (as in this case), cause prescription changes, and are not aesthetically pleasing.
