About Pterygium surgery

Pterygium, often called β€œsurfer’s eye,” is a benign growth on the conjunctiva that can extend onto the cornea, causing redness, irritation, or vision problems. While mild cases may be managed with lubricating eye drops, surgical removal is recommended if the growth affects vision or causes discomfort. In Turkey, pterygium surgery is performed by skilled ophthalmologists using minimally invasive techniques that reduce recurrence risk. Procedures often include conjunctival autografting, which replaces the removed tissue with healthy conjunctiva, ensuring a natural appearance and long-lasting results. HealMinded connects patients with expert eye surgeons in Turkey who specialise in pterygium removal, offering affordable packages, safe care, and comprehensive follow-up. With modern facilities and high success rates, Turkey is a reliable choice for this common eye condition.
