What is Pterygium?

Pterygium (pronounced tur-IJ-ee-um) is a non-cancerous, wedge-shaped growth of tissue on the white part of the eye (conjunctiva) that can extend onto the cornea. Often caused by sun exposure, dust, and dry environments, this condition can lead to redness, irritation, vision problems, and cosmetic concerns.

What is Sutureless Pterygium Surgery?

Sutureless pterygium surgery is a modern, minimally invasive procedure that removes the pterygium without the need for stitches, making the recovery faster, smoother, and more comfortable for patients. Instead of sutures, a special biocompatible sealant is used to secure the graft, reducing inflammation, pain, and recurrence risks.

How is the Surgery Performed?

✔️ The pterygium is carefully excised from the eye.
✔️ A thin layer of amniotic membrane (natural tissue with healing properties) is placed over the affected area.
✔️ Instead of stitches, ReSure tissue sealant is applied to attach the membrane to the eye, ensuring a seamless and secure fit.
✔️ The eye is protected with a bandage contact lens for comfort and healing.

Why Choose Sutureless Pterygium Surgery?

✅ No Stitches – Less irritation and a more natural healing process.
✅ Faster Recovery – Reduced inflammation and discomfort after surgery.
✅ Lower Recurrence Rate – Advanced techniques help prevent regrowth.
✅ Better Cosmetic Results – No visible sutures, leading to a cleaner, more natural appearance.

What to Expect After Surgery?

Most patients experience mild discomfort for a few days. Your doctor will prescribe eye drops to prevent infection and promote healing. Within a few weeks, the eye looks clear and healthy, with no visible signs of surgery.
