What Is a Pinguecula and a Pterygium (Surfer's Eye)?
By Dr. Manuel D. Enriquez, O.D.

Pinguecula and pterygium are growths on your eye’s conjunctiva, the clear covering over the white part of the eye.

Pinguecula is a yellowish, raised growth on the conjunctiva. It’s usually on the side of the eye near your nose, but can happen on the other side too. A pinguecula may contain deposits of protein, fat, or calcium.

Pterygium is a growth of fleshy tissue (has blood vessels) that may start as a pinguecula. It can remain small or grow large enough to cover part of the cornea. When this happens, it can affect your vision.

Causes!!!
Both pinguecula and pterygium are believed to be caused by a combination of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun, wind and dust.

Avoiding pinguecula and pterygium!!!
lf you have had a pinguecula or a pterygium at least once before, try to avoid the things that cause these growths. Here are some ways:
wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from ultraviolet (UV) light
protect your eyes from dust by wearing glasses or goggles
use artificial tears when your eyes are dry

Symptoms of pinguecula and pterygium can range from mild to severe.
They include:
-redness and swelling of the conjunctiva, mostly while the pterygium grows a yellow spot or bump on the white of your eye.
-Dry, itchy, burning eyes. Or feeling like sand or grit is stuck in your eye
blurry vision.

Pinguecula treatment
In many cases pinguecula and pterygium do not need to be treated. However, if your eyes are uncomfortable or your vision is affected, you may need treatment.
Drops to lubricate your eyes can help relieve irritation from pinguecula. They also help relieve that annoying feeling as if you have something in your eye. If pinguecula causes redness and swelling in your eye, your doctor may prescribe steroid eye drops.
Usually eye drops can relieve any discomfort from pinguecula, and surgery is usually not recommended or needed.

Pterygium treatment
Your ophthalmologist can treat the discomfort, redness or swelling from a pterygium with lubricating or steroid eye drops.

If a pterygium grows large enough to cause problems, your ophthalmologist will probably recommend surgery to remove it. Once the pterygium is removed, your surgeon may transplant a thin piece of normal tissue onto the affected area. This technique helps reduce the chance that your pterygium will grow back.

You should also protect your eyes from sunlight, dryness and dust.
