Are you noticing a “growth” on the surface of your eye? Or perhaps you've had one for years but thought it would be too risky or difficult to treat. You’re not alone, and there’s good news! These growths, often called pterygiums, are more common than you might think and can be treated effectively and safely.
A pterygium is a benign growth that develops on the ocular surface, commonly caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight. While it’s not typically dangerous, a pterygium can lead to several uncomfortable symptoms, including blurry vision, a gritty sensation, and even eye pain. Besides the physical discomfort, pterygiums may also cause cosmetic concerns, affecting the appearance of the eye.
Dr. Collett specializes in a quick and minimally invasive procedure to remove pterygiums and restore the eye’s natural appearance and comfort. The treatment is performed conveniently right in our office, making it a smooth, low-risk experience for patients.
Removing a pterygium doesn’t just improve comfort and vision; it also enhances your eye's appearance, which can boost your confidence and peace of mind. If left untreated, pterygiums can worsen over time, leading to more significant discomfort and potential visual impairment.
If you’re dealing with a pterygium, relief is within reach. Dr. Collett and our team are here to provide you with safe, effective treatment options to remove the growth and restore your eye’s health and appearance. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation, and take the first step toward clear, comfortable vision.
