If the growth progresses towards the visual path, it can cause significant visual impairment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pterygium is mainly caused due to long hours of sun exposure, especially the harmful UV rays. Chronic eye irritation caused due to heavy winds, dust, etc., also contributes to the development of a pterygium. It is important to note that these are benign growths that are not cancerous &#8211; they do not spread to other body parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Pterygium_Cause_Astigmatism\"><\/span>Can Pterygium Cause Astigmatism?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, if a pterygium continues to grow towards your cornea and invades it, it can change the shape of the cornea\u2019s surface, causing visual problems like astigmatism and other higher-order aberrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Astigmatism is an eye condition that causes blurry or distorted vision at all distances. Astigmatism typically accompanies other conditions such as nearsightedness (<a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/myopia-nearsightedness-risks-causes-and-prevention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">myopia<\/a>) and farsightedness (hyperopia).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Treat_Pterygium\"><\/span>How to Treat Pterygium?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A pterygium is typically not considered a cause for major concern, but when it starts affecting your vision or the overall quality of life, it becomes imperative to manage it with appropriate measures. Some treatment measures available at <strong>Sohana Hospital<\/strong> include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Anti-inflammatory or steroid eye drops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surgery (in severe cases)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\">*<strong>Note:<em> <\/em><\/strong><em>A pterygium can grow back even after it has been removed via surgery.
