Treatment for both Pinguecula and Pterygium depends on the severity of the disease. If the size is small and symptoms are mild, no significant irritations and normal vision, preventing further disease progression is recommended by protecting the eyes from UV exposure. Sunglasses are important in protection against UV exposure.

If signs of inflammation are seen, your Ophthalmologist may prescribe a topical eye solution to alleviate the irritation and other symptoms. In case, Pterygium extended further into cornea with an increased size and inflammation, Ophthalmologist may recommend surgical treatment in Outpatient setting which takes around 30 minutes and rest for observation around 3-6 around on case-by-case basis.
