Spend a lot of time #outdoors? Beware of ‘surfer’s eye’ or #pterygium - pronounced turr-IJ-ee-um. Pterygium is a fibrovascular growth on the conjunctivitis (white part of the eye) which extends towards the cornea. They develop from excessive ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. Pterygium is the painless growth of a clear, thin tissue that lines the white part of the eye. It is generally harmless. If the growth causes discomfort, interferes with your vision, or is not cosmetically acceptable to you, you can get it removed during an outpatient procedure. 😎 Wear sungglasse every day when you go under the sun. Choose shades that block 99%-100% of both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. ⛑️ Wear a hat 💧 Use artificial tears eyedrop to keep your eyes moist See an eye doctor if you have any symptoms 😉 #OptimaxEyeSpecialistCentre #EyeSpecialist #OphthalmologistMalaysia #Pterygium #SurfersEye #Eyehealth #Eyecare #AWholeNewWorld #EyeSight #NewVisionNewLife #MyEyes #MyLife #MyHealth #EyeSpecialist #EyeDisease #EYETreat #EYEgotOptimax #KitaJagaMata
