Pterygium treatment: Irritating/ inflammation from a perdition can be treated with artificial tears. Sometimes a low dose topical steroid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drop. If persistent or recurrent issues, the pterygium can be surgically removed.

Pterygium medication: 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.
