• +tiology of pterygium is not definitely kno2n&

9ut the disease is more common in people

living in hot climates&

• +he most accepted vie2 is that it is a response

to prolonged effect of environmental factorssuch as e*posure to sun (:# rays)dry heat

high 2ind and a$undance of dust&

According to modern *$hthalmology5Pterygium a 2ing shaped fold of conjunctiva

encroaching upon the cornea from either side

2ithin the interpalpe$ral fissure&

• Demogra$hy5 usually seen in old age M#

may $e unilateral or $ilateral usually present

on nasal side $ut may also occur on temporal

side&



• Sym$toms:

other2ise asymptomatic condition in early

stages&
