Key structures include the cornea (clear outer layer that focuses light into the eye), the iris (which controls pupil size to control the amount of light entering the eye), and the lens (which further focuses light onto the retina). The retina contains photoreceptor cells that convert light into electrical signals, which are then sent to the brain via the optic nerves. Eye diseases Normal Eye Pterygium Pinguecula Pterygium (surfer's eye) is a non-cancerous, triangular-shaped growth of conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white of the eye). It typically appears on the inner corner of the eye. It causes irritation, redness, and can sometimes grow onto the cornea, affecting vision. It is often caused by exposure to UV light, dry conditions, and wind. Symptoms: Besides the visible growth, symptoms include redness, dryness, itching, tearing, and in advanced cases, blurred vision or astigmatism. Causes & Risk Factors: The primary cause is high exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Other major factors include dry, sandy, or dusty environments, and it is more common in adults, especially those living near the equator. Prevention: The best prevention method is wearing UV-protective eyewear, such as wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses. Treatment: Small, asymptomatic, or mild cases may be managed with lubrication or steroid eye drops. For significant growth that affects vision or causes severe, persistent irritation, surgery is the recommended treatment, usually involving an auto- graft to reduce recurrence rates, which are now often below 10%. Conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white of the eye). I usually found on the inner side of eye near the nose and is gener- ally harmless, though it can cause irri- tation or dry eye sensation.
