Pterygium is one of the most common and dangerous diseases of the visual organ. Pterygium is a benign growth of the conjunctiva (the connective membrane of the eye) on the cornea. The pathological formation has a triangular shape with a head, neck, and body. Its danger lies in the fact that the disease, progressing, leads to complete loss of vision and is not amenable to medical treatment. It can only be removed surgically.
Ophthalmology in Israel is considered one of the most progressive in the world today. Ophthalmic surgeons perform the most complex surgeries with remarkable skill, using a wide arsenal of advanced technologies and techniques.
How Pterygium is Managed at Top Ichilov – the Leading Clinic in the Country
Treatment of pterygium in Israel involves the use of modern and gentle surgical techniques and laser technologies.
- Surgical treatment of pterygium in Israel is performed under local anesthesia and involves grasping the neoplasm with surgical forceps and cutting it away from the corneal tissue. After excising the pterygium, the surgeon carefully scrapes away any remaining pathological tissue from the cornea to prevent the recurrence of the benign fold. For this purpose, in some cases, the doctor may suture the conjunctival area to the site of the formation. The operation lasts from 60 minutes to 2 hours depending on the extent of the intervention. Stitches can be removed as early as the 5th day. After the operation, antibacterial eye drops and ointments are prescribed to prevent infectious-inflammatory processes.
- Laser removal. This is an even gentler method. Using a laser beam, the pterygium is cut away and the remaining growth tissue is cauterized. This technique is performed using advanced equipment and is completely painless and bloodless, leaving no scars and requiring no hospitalization or stitch removal.
