Pterygium (Paddwal) Surgery: Restoring Comfort and Clear Vision
Expert Care for Pterygium (Paddwal)
At Hare Krishna Netralaya, we understand the discomfort and vision problems caused by pterygium, commonly known as “paddwal.” This condition occurs when a growth of fleshy tissue forms on the surface of the eye, typically starting from the inner corner and growing toward the cornea. Over time, pterygium can interfere with clear vision, cause irritation, and affect your overall eye health. If left untreated, it can lead to astigmatism, a condition where the cornea becomes irregularly shaped, further blurring vision.
We offer advanced and effective treatment options for pterygium, including both medical management and surgical intervention, tailored to your specific condition. Our team of experienced ophthalmologists is dedicated to providing the highest level of care to ensure that you achieve clear vision and lasting comfort.
Pterygium Services We Offer:
Comprehensive Diagnosis: If you notice redness, irritation, or a visible growth on the surface of your eye, it’s important to get a proper diagnosis. Our specialists will perform a detailed eye exam, including a slit-lamp examination, to evaluate the size and extent of the pterygium and determine the best course of treatment.
Non-Surgical Treatments: In the early stages of pterygium, we may recommend conservative treatments such as lubricating eye drops or anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate irritation and slow down the growth. Regular monitoring is essential to track the condition’s progression.
Pterygium Surgery: If the pterygium is large, causing significant vision problems or persistent irritation, surgery may be necessary. Our surgeons perform pterygium removal with precision and care, using the latest techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and fast recovery. The surgery involves removing the growth and covering the area with a healthy tissue graft to prevent recurrence.
- Graft Techniques: We use autografts (tissue taken from your own conjunctiva) or amniotic membrane grafts, depending on the severity and location of the pterygium. This helps promote healing and reduces the chances of the pterygium returning.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach: We prioritize minimally invasive methods to reduce recovery time, scarring, and post-operative discomfort. With advanced techniques, our specialists can perform pterygium surgery with high precision, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Post-Surgery Care & Follow-Up: After surgery, our team will provide you with post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing. We will monitor your recovery through follow-up visits to ensure the eye heals properly and that the pterygium does not recur. Most patients experience significant improvement in comfort and vision after surgery.
