Symptoms of Pterygium
Pterygium are generally unproblematic. However, you may feel that there is a foreign body in your eye. Refractive errors such as astigmatism may be caused by pterygium as they can grow over the cornea.
If you think you have a pterygium, call your optician to book an eye test. A slit lamp can usually detect the presence of Pterygium. This microscope magnifies the structures of the eye and has a light on it so that the eye can be thoroughly examined.
