Eye Growth Treatment in Repalle
A growth spreading across your eye is more common than you think — and it can be safely treated here.
A Growth on the Eye (Pterygium)
If you have noticed a fleshy pink or white growth spreading across the surface of your eye, you are not alone. This condition is called a pterygium — and it is not cancerous.
It is common among people who spend time outdoors in sunny, dusty, or windy conditions. Farmers, fishermen, and outdoor workers in coastal areas like Repalle are frequently affected.
Left untreated, it can slowly grow toward the centre of the eye and begin to affect vision. Treated early, removal is straightforward with a short recovery.
Signs to Watch For
A visible pink or white growth on the white of the eye
Redness or persistent irritation in one or both eyes
A feeling that something is in your eye
Blurry or slightly distorted vision
The growth appearing to slowly increase in size
If you are noticing any of these, a consultation will confirm what is happening and what to do next.

Pterygium is removed through a simple surgical procedure done here at our hospital in Repalle. It is a short outpatient procedure with no overnight stay required.
Most patients return to their normal routine within a few days. Your doctor will advise on post-operative care to support healing and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Cashless treatment is available for eligible patients under the Aarogyasri Health Scheme (formerly Dr. YSR Aarogyasri, now operating as Dr. NTR Vaidya Seva Health Scheme), subject to procedure coverage.

Is a pterygium dangerous?
A pterygium is not cancerous and does not spread to other parts of the body. However, if left untreated it can grow across the cornea and affect vision. Early removal avoids this complication.
Will it come back after surgery?
There is a chance of recurrence in some patients, particularly in those with high UV exposure. Your doctor will advise on protective measures after surgery to reduce this risk.
Is treatment covered under Aarogyasri?
Coverage depends on your eligibility and the specific procedure. Call us with your card details and we will confirm before your visit.
