Surfer’s Eye: Understanding Pterygium and Its Impact

Surfer’s eye, or pterygium, is a non-cancerous growth on the conjunctiva, often affecting those in sunny or windy environments. It can lead to vision issues if untreated. Caused by UV light, wind, and dust, it’s common among surfers. Symptoms include a fleshy growth, irritation, and blurred vision. Treatment ranges from eye drops to surgery. Prevention includes wearing UV-protective eyewear and keeping eyes moist.
