The Skinny on Pterygia

Let me know what you think about this new video format. Would more short videos with just the facts ("the skinny") be helpful? Text to speech greatly simplifies the video creation and allows quicker production, and hopefully, isn't a negative.

I thought this video was going to be about underweight flying dinosaurs, but my mistake. Fortunately, it's another great informational video. Thank you for doing these!

I have this in one eye. I’m a 42 year old woman. I spent a lot of time outside tanning in my teens and 20’s. I have a lot of sun damage on my face. The lump in my eye is exactly where the edge of my contact lens is. Luckily it hasn’t gotten bigger. My biggest fear is it affecting my vision.

My father had pterygium in both eyes & had to have them removed twice due to vision interference. Of his 5 kids, I am the only one to have pterygium, lucky me! Hahaha Thanks for the info, Dr Mellick. 👁️👁️
