Pterygium, or \u201catrophic ectopia conjunctiva,\u201d is a disease characterized by progressive proliferation of the vascular conjunctiva, which may extend to the cornea of the eye. This pathology in most cases begins in the area of the inner corner of the eye and has the appearance of a triangular thickening. Pterygium is often associated with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation and extreme climatic conditions. The main symptoms include redness, irritation, dryness, and the effect of \u201csand in the eyes,\u201d but in advanced cases the disease can lead to deterioration of vision if the proliferation affects the central zone of the cornea. Unfortunately, relapses after surgical treatment are quite common, which makes pterygium a relevant topic for research and discussion in ophthalmology.<\/p>\n
