Will Pterygium Go Away?

Often, a pterygium will gradually start to clear up by itself, without any treatment. If so, it may leave a tiny scar on the surface of your eye that's generally not very noticeable. If it bothers your vision, you can have it removed by an ophthalmologist.

How long does it take for pterygium to go away?

Recovery time can take anywhere between a couple of weeks to a couple of months for your eye to completely heal, without signs of redness or discomfort. Though, this may also be dependent on the type of technique used during surgery.

How do you get rid of pterygium without surgery?

Treating a pterygium can be done without surgical removal. Smaller growths are usually treated with artificial tears to lubricate the eyes or mild steroid eye drops that counteract redness and swelling.
