Pterygium Surgery Using Advanced Fibrin Glue

Pterygium Surgery Using Advanced Fibrin Glue

Introduction: Pterygium surgery involves removing a pterygium (a growth of conjunctival tissue over the cornea) and using advanced fibrin glue to secure a conjunctival graft, reducing the risk of recurrence.

Symptoms: Symptoms include redness, irritation, and a visible growth on the eye’s surface that may affect vision.

Causes: Prolonged exposure to UV light, dust, and wind can contribute to the development of a pterygium.

Treatment: The surgical procedure removes the pterygium and applies a conjunctival graft secured with fibrin glue. This technique helps minimize recurrence and promotes effective healing by ensuring that the graft adheres well to the eye surface

Eyelid Surgery

Introduction: Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure designed to improve the appearance and function of the eyelids. It can address issues such as drooping eyelids, excess skin, or puffiness.

Symptoms: Common reasons for considering eyelid surgery include drooping upper eyelids that may obstruct vision, sagging lower eyelids, or visible under-eye bags.

Causes: These issues can be caused by aging, genetics, or trauma, leading to changes in the skin and muscle of the eyelids.

Treatment: The surgery involves removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids to correct functional impairments and enhance appearance. The procedure can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids and aims to rejuvenate the eye area and improve overall vision if the drooping is affecting sight.
