Pterygium is a benign growth of tissue that starts on the white part of the eye and can extend onto the cornea.

It usually begins near the nose and gradually grows over time, often due to prolonged sun exposure or irritation. If untreated, it can impair vision. Early surgical removal can prevent complications.

The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that converts light into electrical signals.

These signals travel through the optic nerve to the brain, allowing us to see. Healthy retinal function is essential for clear vision, and retinal diseases require prompt diagnosis and care.

A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which normally helps focus light onto the retina.

Cataracts cause symptoms like blurred or dim vision, glare around lights, double vision, and frequent changes in glasses prescription. Cataract surgery, which replaces the cloudy lens with a clear artificial lens, is a safe and effective treatment.

Glaucoma is a condition where increased pressure inside the eye damages the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain.

. It often progresses silently without early symptoms. If untreated, glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss. Regular eye exams are vital for early detection and treatment to preserve vision.
