See an eye doctor: A pterygium can be surgically removed it causes blurred vision or chronic ocular irritation. If it does not cause these things, it can be observed. Speak to your eye doctor.

Pterygium: Prevention is key remedy. Avoid sun (sunglasses, hat); avoid smoking. Natural rx info: see eyedoc2020.blogspot.com; Other ways to help decrease symptoms: cold artificial tears, nsaid drops, low dose or hi dose steroids (though risk of glaucoma, cataract); surgery is only real way to remove.
