Pterygium Treatment in Fethiye
Pterygium is surface tissue that can grow from the white of the eye toward the cornea. Growth, irritation, redness, and visual effect guide management.
Treatment Process
- Size, corneal extension, symptoms, and previous change are reviewed.
- Vision, corneal shape, and the ocular surface are examined.
- Protective care, monitoring, or surgery is selected individually.
- If surgery is considered, technique, recovery, and recurrence risk are explained.
Recovery: Redness and irritation can persist for a period after surgery. Recovery varies, and the drop and follow-up plan should be followed.
