Why it should be operated on and not left alone?
The pterygium will have good vision as long as the pterygium doesn't grow over the pupil area.
Once it grows it is very difficult to restore normal vision.
Pterygium may not grow to affect vision loss if it develops into scar tissue it will pull the eye globe and causes visual disturbance in the form of astigmatism.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
Pterygium is excessive growth of your conjunctiva tissue and it’s most likely caused by long-term exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light. However, other causes can include eye irritation from hot and dry weather, wind, or dust.
First, make an incision at the point where the pterygium begins to grow over the cornea. Cut it free and peel it away from the corneal surface using blunt dissection.
Full recovery from this procedure generally takes patients several weeks to a month. To help prevent infection and reduce inflammation during this time, doctors typically prescribe antibiotics and steroid drops that must be used for the first one to two months post-surgery.
A pterygium is a growth that typically appears on the sun-exposed areas of the eye where the eyelids do not cover the eye or the sclera. They most commonly develop on the nasal side of the eyeball, but can also be found on the temporal side or both sides of the eye.
Usually, the surgery costs around Rs 35000 per pterygium.
