I think I have Pterygium or Surfer eye

2021-11-22 21:29:04
Hi, I have very tiny bump on my right eye. From past 10 years. it never created irritation or any problem till now. It didn't even grown a bit. But I need to get rid of it, as Iam feeling insecurity because of it. I am unable keep eye contact with other because insecurity. I think it is Pterygium, can it be treated without surgery or do I need surgery?

U will have to show or send the pics... mostly it looks like it can be surgically corrected. Medication won't be helpful
