Clear Vision Starts Here

Has a fleshy growth on your eye been bothering you? You’re not alone. Pterygium affects thousands of people, especially those living in sunny climates. Dr. Nitesh Bhalla at Clarity Eye Care offers advanced pterygium surgery in Wakad and Hinjewadi, to restore your comfort and vision.

What is Pterygium?

Pterygium is a non-cancerous growth on the eye. It is a triangular pink tissue that grows from the white part of the eye onto the cornea. 

People often call it “surfer’s eye” because it commonly affects those who spend time outdoors. 

The growth happens so slowly that many patients don’t notice symptoms at first. As it grows larger, you might experience:

Why Choose Pterygium Surgery?

Surgery becomes necessary when the pterygium:

Affects your vision significantly

Causes persistent discomfort

Grows close to your pupil

Creates cosmetic concerns

Doesn't respond to eye drops or other treatments

Surgery is recommended only if other options don’t work. 

Advanced Surgical Techniques

At Clarity Eye Care, Dr. Nitesh uses modern surgical methods for pterygium removal. The procedure involves:

Pterygium Excision with Graft

Dr. Bhalla uses this proven method for lasting results. First, he carefully removes the entire pterygium growth. 

Next, he takes a tiny piece of healthy tissue from another part of your eye. This graft covers the treated area perfectly. 

Your chances of the pterygium returning drop dramatically with this approach.

Recovery and Healing

Most patients are surprised by how quickly their eye bounces back after surgery. You can usually head back to work within a couple of days. Here’s how your recovery unfolds:

The First Week:

Your eye will feel a bit sore and look redder than usual. That’s completely normal. 

Dr. Bhalla prescribes remarkable eye drops that speed up healing. Fight the urge to rub your eye, even if it feels itchy. Those protective glasses he gives you? Wear them religiously.

Weeks Two Through Four:

This is when you’ll really notice the difference. Your eye starts looking better each day. The irritation fades away gradually. 

You can get back to your regular routine during this time. Keep using those eye drops, though – they’re still working hard for you.

Full Recovery:

Your eye needs about six weeks to heal completely. 

If your pterygium was particularly large, give yourself a bit more time. Everyone heals at their own pace.

Post-Surgery Care

Dr. Bhalla walks you through everything you need to know for a smooth recovery. He’ll give you antibiotic drops to keep infection away. You’ll also get steroid drops that calm down any swelling.

Your follow-up visits are crucial. Don’t skip them. These appointments let Dr. Bhalla check how well you’re healing.

Sun protection becomes even more important now. Wear good sunglasses whenever you step outside. 

Swimming and hot tubs are to be avoided for a few weeks. The chlorine and bacteria can irritate your healing eye.
