Yes it's called pterygium.
The only treatment is surgery.
Till it is away from the center of cornea ,vision remains unaffected
But once it reaches to centre ,it causes permanent loss of vision .
So get it operated.

This is called as Grade 2-3 Nasal Pterygium.
To avoid growth, stay away from sunlight and use refresh tears thrice a day.
Ideally you should get it surgically removed- a procedure called as pterygium excision with conjunctival Autograft.
