If you’re struggling with a pterygium—a common growth on the surface of the eye—you’re not alone. While many patients may initially hesitate to seek treatment, advanced techniques now make it possible to safely and effectively remove the growth while minimizing the chances of recurrence. At our clinic, we rely on an innovative approach: pterygium excision combined with an amniograft. This state-of-the-art technique not only removes the pterygium but also promotes regenerative healing, offering patients exceptional results with a low recurrence rate.
Regenerative Healing: The amniotic membrane promotes cell regeneration and reduces inflammation, creating a healthier and smoother ocular surface. This leads to faster recovery and less scarring compared to traditional techniques.
Low Recurrence Rate: One of the primary concerns with pterygium treatment is recurrence. Studies show that excision with amniograft significantly lowers the recurrence rate, offering patients long-lasting results and peace of mind.
Reduced Discomfort: The amniograft acts as a protective layer, minimizing post-operative discomfort and enhancing the healing process. Patients often find the recovery period to be more comfortable than they anticipated.
Improved Cosmetic Outcomes: This technique helps restore the natural appearance of the eye, leaving it looking smooth and clear. The combination of precise excision and the regenerative properties of the amniograft delivers optimal cosmetic results.
During the Procedure: The pterygium is carefully removed, and the amniograft is precisely placed on the affected area. This ensures proper healing and minimizes the chance of regrowth.
After the Procedure: Patients typically notice improvements in both comfort and vision within a few weeks. The eye continues to heal over the following months, with the amniograft aiding in a smooth recovery process.
