No signs of regrowth of pterygium. I do not use any eye drops. I was first diagnosed with pterygium in 2006. I was 34 years old. I had my surgery in 2012 when the pterygium started growing over my iris and affecting my perfect vision 20/20. I’m happy to say 12 years later there is no problems, no scarring, no notice of any redness. The surgery and the care I received was perfect.

Pterygium Post Surgery Over 963 days ago!
After one year my eye is still 100% healed, I am so happy that I had the surgery. It was 6 years of waiting for my doctor to give the okay to have the excision. He stated at the time I was still too young to have the surgery. At the first diagnosis in 2006 I was 34 years old.
My doctor stated the possibilities of a return of the pterygium to the same eye was too great of a chance to come back and regrow. However, by 2012 it started affecting my peripheral vision and my 20-10 vision.
Today I am 100% cured after the pterygium excision, and no signs of regrowth.

Pterygium Cyst Post Surgery Developed-Day 13-15
This just in on Day 13 post operation of excision of pterygium, I noticed a whitish bump on my sclera, the white part of my eye. The bump formed exactly where the pterygium was excisioned. I sent my picture to several doctors on twitter, they suggested that I see my surgeon. I will see him tomorrow.
Several doctors online stated it is either a cyst or a water blister, these are common after eye surgery. I will see the doctor tomorrow, which is Friday, February 10, day 13 post operation. Here is the picture.
