Pterygium Surgery
Advanced Pterygium Care at RNH Hospital
At RNH Hospital, our Eye Care & Surgery Department offers advanced and safe Pterygium Surgery designed to restore eye comfort, appearance, and vision clarity. A pterygium, often called “surfer’s eye”, is a non-cancerous growth on the white part of the eye that can extend onto the cornea, causing irritation, redness, or blurred vision. While mild cases can be managed with medication, surgical removal becomes essential when the growth affects vision or causes discomfort.
Our team of expert ophthalmologists combines microsurgical precision, advanced technology, and personalized care to ensure the best cosmetic and visual outcomes helping you see and feel your best again.
At RNH Hospital, we believe pterygium treatment isn’t just about removing a growth it’s about restoring confidence, comfort, and eye health.
