While nearly everyone experiences dry or red eyes occasionally, it’s a problem if it keeps recurring. Don’t hesitate to contact a New York City ophthalmologist who specializes in dry eyes. Even simple symptoms like itchiness and eye irritation may indicate a more serious condition like pterygium, also known as surfer’s eye. Untreated, this can lead to further complications that may require complicated treatments. The experienced doctors at Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants of New York (VRMNY) — with offices in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Westchester — provide the best eye care in the metropolitan region. Call as soon as possible to get your eyes checked out. WHAT IS A PTERYGIUM? A pterygium (pronounced TRY-jee-um) is a non-cancerous growth on the conjunctiva that lines the inside of your eyelid to protect it from harmful microbes. The conjunctiva also lubricates your eyes by producing tears and mucus. A pterygium is a triangular-shaped tissue growth that extends to your cornea. In most cases, it appears raised with visible blood vessels. The growth, also known as surfer’s eye, can occur on either side of your eye. A pterygium mostly grows from the inner corner of the eye near your nose. It usually remains small, but sometimes it grows to cover your pupil, restricting your vision. If untreated, a pterygium may grow across your cornea, causing vision problems that may require pterygium surgery to correct. When the growth causes eye discomfort, it requires immediate attention by an eye doctor specializing in the treatment. Experienced ophthalmologists detect the growth during a scheduled eye checkup. If you feel discomfort in your eye or notice a visible growth, consult the eye specialists at Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants of New York (VRMNY) ophthalmology center, with offices in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Westchester.
