Pterygium (Terigen) & Pinguecula (Pinkiflua) Treatment in Indore
At Saluja Eye Care Center, Indore, we provide advanced diagnosis and treatment options for Pterygium (commonly called Terigen) and Pinguecula (locally known as Pinkiflua). These are common conditions caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight, dust, pollution, and dry climates.
What Are Pinguecula and Pterygium?
- Pinguecula: A yellowish, raised spot on the conjunctiva (the clear covering of the white part of the eye). It usually appears on the side of the eye near the nose and may contain deposits of protein, fat, or calcium.
- Pterygium: A fleshy, vascular growth that may develop from a pinguecula. It can remain small or grow over the cornea, potentially affecting vision and eye health.
