What is the best eye drops or lubricants used to ease redness in the eye caused by a pterygium?

Artificial tears: Over the counter artificial tears are recommended by ophthalmologists. Several good brands are available, not limited to systane, bausch and lomb, and theratears. You can try their overnight dry eye treatments, too.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed

Any: There are many lubricating drops. A gel type would work best for a pterygium. However, the eye will be red at times, as long as the pterygium is there.

Pterygium Drops: Naphcon-A®, Naphcon Forte®; See full list: eyedoc2020.blogspot.com Prevention is key remedy. Avoid sun (sunglasses, hat); avoid smoking. 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

Syrupy drops: You want drops that cling to the eye such as Systane or Refresh. Hopefully you do not have dry eyes. Adding ointment to the eyes at night can also be helpful. Your ophthalmologist can tell you if your pterygium is dangerous to the eye as a few are. Sometimes nothing will attenuate the redness and the lesion has to be removed.
