High Eye Pressure. Mine went from 26 to 30 last year and was 30 last week, it's been over 22 for 40yrs. My cornea thickness is only slightly thicker than normal I'm told. I'm being monitored for Glaucoma and have just been upgraded to a Glaucoma Suspect, which I believe means I haven't got Glaucoma but have the right conditions for it. UK. (I have a ptyrigium as well).
By chance I discovered my Pinguecula is getting smaller and the redness is going away when I use organic castor oil eyelash serum. I’ve been putting it on my eyelids at night and any time I’m not leaving my home. Many people claim that castor oil is a anti-inflammatory and reduces lumps and cysts in the body, others claim there is no proof. 🤷♀️ I will continue to use this since I am seeing great results. It also helps with lubrication in the eye area.
Hey, would you mind to give an explanation how to use the organic castor oil ur talking about. What brand and and what are the improvements that you’ve noticed?
I had that yellow spots in my eye from a long time. Now i know about it thanks to you. I was quite afraid after watching your thumbnail but now there is nothing to worry. Love from India ❤️
My left eye has been aggravated and inflamed due to my pinguecula and when I thought my eyedrops were actually helping they were actually irritating and causing more issues like redness, soon developed pingueculitus lucky for Systane balance restoring eyedrops to lubricate my eye is what tone down and made my eye appear much better very quickly. I’m so glad for this kind of informative and helpful videos. My eye is improving fairly quickly.
Same, I am 5 years with the pain of irritation that I want to keep my eyes closed. By my own I have found some stuff, gel lubricantd without conservants, washing my eyelids, and lately taking omega 3, that I read it helped to the brain, ans later on to the eye lubrication, my irritation pain is less frenquently, but the redness is there always, sometimes even more red. The oft. here, which is the only one, said that i cannot get surgery and gave me a lubricant with hialuronasa?, but i felt my eyes kept asking for more each 30 min, the gel one, sometimes make me feel dry after hours :)
I had a pterygium when I was a kid. Went to many doctors and lots of different drops tried. Not sure what they contained, but it eventually went away. I have scar tissue from it though and have ghost vessels that sometimes get irritated. Also told I have holes or lattice appearance of my retina and am at risk for a detached retina. My eyes are messed up, but I can see, so that's good. 😎😎
My dad has perfect vision, never in his life has he needed glasses, and have never had eye complaints or issues, like 2 or 3 months ago, he started seeing a shadow in his right eye, and it happened for like a week, until he realized it wasn't going aways, well, his retina was detached, he had to get urgent surgery, 2 more days and I guess he could've lost all his eye, idk how it works, that's what they said, and also on his checks up like 2 weeks after, his left eye retina was going to detach as well, and they caught that one on time, it didn't cause any damage like in his other eye, now, he just sees like a water drop that the ophthalmologist told him it was normal from something they put in there, but he still doesn't need glasses, the ophthalmologist also explain that the retina detachment can happen to anyone, bc as we get older there is like a type of gel like in our eyes but it starts to dry out as we age
Thank you. You're the best. I had pterygium iit was removed by my Opthalmologist Dr. Weinberger at Kaiser Hospital Los Angeles California. No pain at all. Its been 12 yrs it did not reoccur. Thank you. Keep safe Doc.
I have also ptregiym in my both eyes since childhood and my sister also have ptregiym in eyes... But she done surgery by dr.... But ptregium again growth... We are worried
Thank you!!!! Yes! Blepharitis is an important topic and there are always some new treatments coming out. I have been researching Ocular Rosacea a bit more and should have an update on those two conditions soon. Much appreciated.
Very clearly explained about both type of P.. I am suffering all the blood test and chest X ray my opthomologist concluded as Sarcoidosis. Thanks for the information
What eye drops should I use for Pinguecula? I have dry eyes and already use Refresh Omega 3 eye drops and I just started using Bruder eye mask for the dry eyes. I have been diagnosed with Pinguecula also.
Great video. I had a ptrigium removed and my eye doctor used a cadaver piece to put back in and unfortunately my eye wouldn't accept it and so a surgeon had to remove it and then he took a piece from the back of my eye and now my eye is back to white and not red anymore.
I just asked, I was still checking up when my eyes said I can't have surgery yet because I'm still small, do I need a doc to grow up before surgery, I hope you'll notice my question
I noticed my eye started to be quite sore after laser surgery 13 years ago and then noticed this thing growing about 5 years ago..would the laser have caused this?
Hi Dr. I had a pterygium operation but the place where the pterygium was removed was not covered now it's growing back though I was several eye drops. There was something else that grow from the spot and the doctor explained it to be infection or reaction to the surgery. Now my question, will another surgery be done as the pterygium is growing back
Hello doc, I guess I have this pinguecula both in my eyes. Can you recommend an eye drops? I also noticed that if I dont get sleep for 8 hrs my eyes are more yellowish. Is that normal ?
Sleeping helps with reducing inflammation and perhaps there is a connection. If this is a regular thing or getting worse it would be wise to consult a local eye doctor about it. Here is a video I did on some of the best eye drops out right now ruclips.net/video/UrmpLwR7vt4/видео.html
Question & I need advice: Is a Conjunctival Cysts the same as Pinguecula and/or does is fall under this term? I have one of these bumps on my left eye--although it's clear, not yellow in color. I've had it for a few years now and it's made wearing my contacts uncomfortable to the point where I've stopped trying over the course of the pandemic. I work from home anyway, so I usually only wear my lenses outside of the house if there's somewhere I need to be but don't want to fiddle with having to keep my glasses clean. My other problem with this bump is that I can't get my eye doctor(s)--been to multiple offices trying to find one who'd help me--to believe me when I visit for my appointments. It's most prominent and raised when my allergies are bad, and I know it's there because I can definitely feel it when I blink. Especially when it's irritated. I've even had the dumb luck of coming to my annual eye exam with it raised and clearly visible only for my doctor to turn around and say "Sorry hun, I don't see anything." So Dr. Allen, what can I do?
@@MannuKumar-lv2fm no it is not. I have gone to a few different eye doctors. The last one I’ve gone to says that if she removes the cyst, the scar tissue left behind will probably be more irritating to me. I saw her a few weeks ago and she said she seems to think it’s gotten smaller. I use an allergy eyedrop in the morning and then throughout the day I use moisturizing eyedrop’s. I’m going to see her again in October. She said if he gets bigger to go back and see her and then we would talk about possible surgery.but I still have it. Sometimes I feel it and it’s very irritating, and sometimes I don’t feel it at all. It’s very weird and frustrating.
I’m so sorry you have not gotten the answers that you need. It is very frustrating and scary. I hope and pray that you will find some relief and get some answers. As I hope that whatever it is that I have goes away and I will not need to have any surgery.
Dear Doc. Pls if I v bn diagnosed to have pterygium by a Doctor is wearing sunglasses help to reduce it’s growing and what’s the treatment apart from surgery. Thanks
I was told I have a pinguecula but it looks more like a blob of mucus and it itches and causes watering. When it is touched it moves slightly but returns to its position. Any clue what's going on? I have photos
Very well done explaint DR i use to have that about 10 years a go ecxacly what t;he eye dr told me.like people working out side get this Like police fire man and so on but it is not there no more dr what i want to ask you if the catarect surgery have to do anything with MRI AFTER YOU GET THE SURGERY DONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANK YOU
I sunburned my eyes very badly on a weekend spring skiing trip when I was a teen. As an adult now I have large pingueculas on both sides of both eyes. I have allergies and they frequently irritate my eye, plus my eyes always look bloodshot. I want to ask what you think about Interferon alpha-2b eye drops to get rid of them. I've read many positive things about it.
Thanks for the information. I do have the ptegyrium that is not too inflammed. I was prescribed systalin, but each time that I use it, I have redness. Please what can I do so far. Thanks you
I recently had to start wearing an RGP contact lens in my left eye to try to correct stromal scarring following an ulcer. I was wearing it every day for about six weeks and one morning I fitted the lens and had a severely painful sensation in the eye which meant I had to remove it straight away. I attended my eye care provider and was told to stop using the RGP contact lens and they would make an appointment to see the contact lens clinic (hospital dept) for a review of the use of the lens. I did notice a pinguecula on the nasal side of the eye and I suspect that it's this that caused the pain, I had never noticed the pinguecula previously. the hospital suggested using eye drops (Hylo forte) regularly, which I have been doing for about 4 weeks. I am waiting for an appointment but would was wondering if the hospital are likely to now move me onto a scleral lens. Any thoughts?? Thank you so much
I got one recently and it’s on my eye with astigmatism. I was diagnosed with dry eye and I guess it got so bad I developed pterygium. I wear Sun glasses every time I go out with full UV protection but it wasn’t enough. Now I live with eye drops near by just to make sure to prevent any irritation.
I had pterygium in my right eye for over ten years and it did't effect my vision before. But in early december 2022 i got eye infection in my right eye and eye doctor said that i got inflammation because of virus infection. Doc gave me maxidex eye drop (corticosteroid). After a month my eye fully recover from the infection but i noticed that my astigmatism getting bad from before. Doc suggest me to remove the pterygium in my right eye coz it can be the cause of astigmatism. Untill now i didn't decide wether to remove it or not. Recently i also have dry eye and need me to use mosturizer eye drop daily.
Any thoughts on the clinical trials for a treatment for Ptygerium? I think stage 3 if the trial is starting by Cloudbreak Pharma I have Ptygerium in both eyes as well as dry eyes. I’ve been on Restasis for 5-6 months and don’t feel any difference
Very helpful, thank You very much❤. I am from Oman, I started during Ophthalmology rotation this week (it extends 3 weeks only). I am using Toronto notes (highly recommended).
My pinguecula is on the outer part of my eye. I always used to sleep on that side and thought it was from my pillow case irritating it. 🤔 I'm so glad I found your channel. 😊👀
@@southerncalifornia3155 The only way to treat it is to have it surgically removed. They are usually harmless. Mine isn't noticeable so I just leave it be.
I'm 32, diagnosed with pinguecula today (bump has been there for 2-3 days). I have glaucoma and on pressure lowering eye drops. I will be using sterioid eye drops one drop every 12 hrs for the next 7 days.. Should steroid drops allow pinguecula to disappear within a 2 weeks or is this something that stays unless surgically removed?
I bring you my case: I have pinguecula in one eye, and in the other, I had pterygium, for which I underwent surgery on February 15, 2024, with removal and placement of a part of the conjunctiva in the same spot. As of today, I still have eyes that are not as white as before but with many red veins. What can I do about this? thank you very much in advance.
hey doc, not sure if this is a good video suggestion or not? how to pick a computer monitor video? i feel my monitor puts out at a high frequency or something and my eyes get fatigued. it is different than my phone and tvs. something about the specific monitor i have. any ideas? i will buy a new one soon to help this issue. thanks
Well to my knowledge there is no procedure for these conditions using lasers at this time. Perhaps once a pterygium is removed, lasik or another form of refractive surgery could be used.
Hi Doctor, I recently started getting issues with my right eye, I noticed a yellow-ish coloration in the corner of my eye white closer to the nose that a few weeks later became infected, I then treated the eye and it went away after a couple of days. Now not even a week after my eye healing I have gotten a new infection in the same eye but on the other side of the eye white, AND two microscopic white dots between the white and into the iris of my eye and I'm staring to get worried. I have used something called a LED face mask for my beauty routine, but recently realized that i haven't protected my eyes while wearing the mask. Could I have gotten both of these eye problems that you are talking about in the video because of this LED face mask? Thank you, Worried girl 26 y old.
Very interesting thank you! I would like to see a video on the different types of synthetic lens they put it during cataract surgery. And also maybe one on why some people have prism in their glasses.
Both very good topics. I have been planning to do a more in depth series about cataract surgery, including a breakdown of implant options. Prism lenses would be an interesting one too, the simple answer is to help alleviate eyestrain or double vision.
since this pinguecula my vision got decreased i now cant see peoples faces from a distance that I usually could before everything became a little blurry
Hi Doctor, I need your advice please. I have a pinguecula and it starts to become red during the day and it hurts as well. I would like to remove it, but I'm little bit afraid about surgery if it doesn't cause any negative effects in the future, as I heard the pinguecula could come back even after surgery. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Pingueculas only turn pink/red if they’re inflamed _(otherwise they remain a pale yellowish color)._ I’ve read that specific eye drops can treat the inflammation of the pinguecula so try booking an appointment with your eye doctor to get eye drop suggestions if you want to avoid surgery. And as the doctor said, make sure to wear sunglasses during the day
Thanks for your reply. I've already tried all of these. I wanna remove it totally. At the end of the day, my eyes look always tired with redness. It became a complex for me. I don't like to see in the mirror 😔, so the only option is to remove. That's why I wanna make sure and have an answer if someone did it.
i have reversed this condition four times now. It can be done. With plenty of hydration, avoid vitamin c, as you may have had too much of it. That what caused mine a few times. Antioxidant supplements and foods as well. blink one hundred times every half an hour. it will disappear in three days or so
Hello doctor. Great video! Are there any topical treatment for pterygium to possibly shrink, retract the growth? I think mine is starting to give me blurry vision. Eyedrops you would recommend?
I was taught that it's main treatment is surgery and then follow-up adjunct therapy. The Adjunct therapy includes Beta radiation therapy, and antimitotic agents (to stop cell division) like Hydromacin C and fluoroUracil drops. But the best bet is to ask your doctor what cam be done about it.
i just notice I have a pinguecula on my right eye, I usually wear my glasses when working and contacts occasionally. would wearing contacts be uncomfortable with this pinguecula? I haven't tried putting in them yet
Something else that has improved my Pinguecula, is Claritin. Allergy season seems to irritate it and make it red and bigger. I took a allergy pill and it looks like it’s practically gone.
Doc I was born with a yellow rasied spot(a perfect circule i guess) on my iris, that spreads to my pupil a lilttle. It's a birthmark i guess but I looked online for what it is & couldn't find anything.
Love watching your handsome face! I often get an irritated eye once a year after being outside doing yard work in the spring. My primary care physician would prescribe eye drops that had anti inflammatory and antibiotics in them. It would take over a week to feel better. Would that be one of these conditions? If so next time I will see an eye doctor instead of my primary care doctor. Thanks 😎
I spend my working day on an aircraft. So many of my colleagues, especially those who have been flying for many years have pingueculas. I wonder if that’s due to the extremely dry environment and tendency toward dehydration?
Dr. You are so smart. I find all your videos very informative. I have had myopia sice I was 9 years old. If I lived in your area, you would definitely be my eye doctor.
Ok. So this morning when I woke up I was fine. But when it hit lunch time my eye felt bruised. Like I got punched in the eye. I rubbed my eye because then it felt like something was in it. It was on the nasal part of my eye. When I blink it hurts. At the moment I see veins and its red but also I see a little raised bump 😧. Should I see an eye doctor??
Thank You Doc. Can photocoagulation of the blood vessels of the pterygium be used for those that do not want surgery, after injection the subconjuctival region with lidocaine beneath the blood vessels, there lifting them from the eye surface, for ease of photocoagulation ?

I was wearing it every day for about six weeks and one morning I fitted the lens and had a severely painful sensation in the eye which meant I had to remove it straight away. I attended my eye care provider and was told to stop using the RGP contact lens and they would make an appointment to see the contact lens clinic (hospital dept) for a review of the use of the lens. I did notice a pinguecula on the nasal side of the eye and I suspect that it's this that caused the pain, I had never noticed the pinguecula previously. the hospital suggested using eye drops (Hylo forte) regularly, which I have been doing for about 4 weeks. I am waiting for an appointment but would was wondering if the hospital are likely to now move me onto a scleral lens. Any thoughts?? Thank you so much
I got one recently and it’s on my eye with astigmatism. I was diagnosed with dry eye and I guess it got so bad I developed pterygium. I wear Sun glasses every time I go out with full UV protection but it wasn’t enough. Now I live with eye drops near by just to make sure to prevent any irritation.
Ouch! Can you do anything to fix it?
@@loraingaligar8037 Just cosmetic surgery. It can come back so I just have to make sure I can clear out any irritation with the eye drops.
You'll have to do a surgery. I had a Pterygium and i also have astigmatism. Your eyes will keep getting red and irritated with the Pterygium.
I had pterygium in my right eye for over ten years and it did't effect my vision before. But in early december 2022 i got eye infection in my right eye and eye doctor said that i got inflammation because of virus infection. Doc gave me maxidex eye drop (corticosteroid). After a month my eye fully recover from the infection but i noticed that my astigmatism getting bad from before. Doc suggest me to remove the pterygium in my right eye coz it can be the cause of astigmatism. Untill now i didn't decide wether to remove it or not. Recently i also have dry eye and need me to use mosturizer eye drop daily.
This was very informative
Thank you!
Any thoughts on the clinical trials for a treatment for Ptygerium? I think stage 3 if the trial is starting by Cloudbreak Pharma
I have Ptygerium in both eyes as well as dry eyes. I’ve been on Restasis for 5-6 months and don’t feel any difference
Thank you! So helpful!
Thank you doctor
Very helpful, thank You very much❤. I am from Oman, I started during Ophthalmology rotation this week (it extends 3 weeks only). I am using Toronto notes (highly recommended).
Thanks for your advise
What types of medicines I can use to remove pterygium
Hi doc, I have a fine eyelash hair which enter my eye but I couldn’t find it anymore. Would it be any harmful? So worry about it. Thanks doc 🙏🏻
It might have came out when you were sleeping
@@vw5056 thanks so much 👍🏻
My pinguecula is on the outer part of my eye. I always used to sleep on that side and thought it was from my pillow case irritating it. 🤔 I'm so glad I found your channel. 😊👀
Oh wow! Thanks for being here!
How did you treated? I think I have that
@@southerncalifornia3155 The only way to treat it is to have it surgically removed. They are usually harmless. Mine isn't noticeable so I just leave it be.
I'm 32, diagnosed with pinguecula today (bump has been there for 2-3 days). I have glaucoma and on pressure lowering eye drops. I will be using sterioid eye drops one drop every 12 hrs for the next 7 days.. Should steroid drops allow pinguecula to disappear within a 2 weeks or is this something that stays unless surgically removed?
I bring you my case: I have pinguecula in one eye, and in the other, I had pterygium, for which I underwent surgery on February 15, 2024, with removal and placement of a part of the conjunctiva in the same spot. As of today, I still have eyes that are not as white as before but with many red veins. What can I do about this? thank you very much in advance.
Hi!just want to know if safe to wear a contact lens èven though i got ptyrigium? It would be really helpful if you could response,ty.
hey doc, not sure if this is a good video suggestion or not? how to pick a computer monitor video? i feel my monitor puts out at a high frequency or something and my eyes get fatigued. it is different than my phone and tvs. something about the specific monitor i have. any ideas? i will buy a new one soon to help this issue. thanks
Was thinking the same never got it till l started doing on line school
I like this , and I have Pterygium can you also have a laser operation because I'm very scared to go and removed it
Well to my knowledge there is no procedure for these conditions using lasers at this time. Perhaps once a pterygium is removed, lasik or another form of refractive surgery could be used.
Hi Doctor,
I recently started getting issues with my right eye, I noticed a yellow-ish coloration in the corner of my eye white closer to the nose that a few weeks later became infected, I then treated the eye and it went away after a couple of days.
Now not even a week after my eye healing I have gotten a new infection in the same eye but on the other side of the eye white, AND two microscopic white dots between the white and into the iris of my eye and I'm staring to get worried.
I have used something called a LED face mask for my beauty routine, but recently realized that i haven't protected my eyes while wearing the mask. Could I have gotten both of these eye problems that you are talking about in the video because of this LED face mask?
Thank you,

What is your condition now ?? Reply plzz
Very interesting thank you! I would like to see a video on the different types of synthetic lens they put it during cataract surgery. And also maybe one on why some people have prism in their glasses.
Both very good topics. I have been planning to do a more in depth series about cataract surgery, including a breakdown of implant options. Prism lenses would be an interesting one too, the simple answer is to help alleviate eyestrain or double vision.
My mother has been diagnosed with pterygium but she is a homemaker and is not exposed to any UV rays .Then what may be the reason ?
What treatment can i use
Is a bright light of the phone also worsens pterygium conditions?.
since this pinguecula my vision got decreased i now cant see peoples faces from a distance that I usually could before everything became a little blurry
Pinguecula or pterygium? Because the pterygium can for sure cause vision changes
@@DoctorEyeHealth PInguecula Doc, and I guess I got it from prolonged exposure to the sun during our annual summer activities
Do a video on ocular rosacea!
Hi Doctor, I need your advice please. I have a pinguecula and it starts to become red during the day and it hurts as well. I would like to remove it, but I'm little bit afraid about surgery if it doesn't cause any negative effects in the future, as I heard the pinguecula could come back even after surgery. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Pingueculas only turn pink/red if they’re inflamed _(otherwise they remain a pale yellowish color)._ I’ve read that specific eye drops can treat the inflammation of the pinguecula so try booking an appointment with your eye doctor to get eye drop suggestions if you want to avoid surgery.
And as the doctor said, make sure to wear sunglasses during the day
Thanks for your reply. I've already tried all of these. I wanna remove it totally. At the end of the day, my eyes look always tired with redness. It became a complex for me. I don't like to see in the mirror 😔, so the only option is to remove. That's why I wanna make sure and have an answer if someone did it.
i have reversed this condition four times now. It can be done. With plenty of hydration, avoid vitamin c, as you may have had too much of it. That what caused mine a few times. Antioxidant supplements and foods as well. blink one hundred times every half an hour. it will disappear in three days or so
Are serious that is for which one please
Hello doctor. Great video! Are there any topical treatment for pterygium to possibly shrink, retract the growth? I think mine is starting to give me blurry vision. Eyedrops you would recommend?
Same problem
Use perservative free eye drops. And wear sunglasses all the time.
I was taught that it's main treatment is surgery and then follow-up adjunct therapy. The Adjunct therapy includes Beta radiation therapy, and antimitotic agents (to stop cell division) like Hydromacin C and fluoroUracil drops.
But the best bet is to ask your doctor what cam be done about it.
i just notice I have a pinguecula on my right eye, I usually wear my glasses when working and contacts occasionally. would wearing contacts be uncomfortable with this pinguecula? I haven't tried putting in them yet
If the pinguecula is large, it could cause some discomfort with contact lenses.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thnks, mines is small and doesn't seem to be close enough to where the contact would be. Thank you
Thank you!
Can you please make one video about retinitis pigmentosa
Please
Doc What medicine for pinquecula because I have eyes
Something else that has improved my Pinguecula, is Claritin. Allergy season seems to irritate it and make it red and bigger. I took a allergy pill and it looks like it’s practically gone.
Can you also do a video on topics like photopsia (after images) and increased glare and dilated pupils. Btw nice videos on the channels.
Absolutely!!! Thanks for the nice comment!
Which is the best drops
Doc I was born with a yellow rasied spot(a perfect circule i guess) on my iris, that spreads to my pupil a lilttle. It's a birthmark i guess but I looked online for what it is & couldn't find anything.
I have on my both eyes 😢😢what will be permanent treatement
Doctor my son has like that.what am i do for that.i used a eye drop caled bactigen.is that ok or should i meet a doctor.plz reply me
Love watching your handsome face! I often get an irritated eye once a year after being outside doing yard work in the spring. My primary care physician would prescribe eye drops that had anti inflammatory and antibiotics in them. It would take over a week to feel better. Would that be one of these conditions? If so next time I will see an eye doctor instead of my primary care doctor. Thanks 😎
Sounds like conjunctivitis
I spend my working day on an aircraft. So many of my colleagues, especially those who have been flying for many years have pingueculas. I wonder if that’s due to the extremely dry environment and tendency toward dehydration?
Can I use Hylo dual intense eyes drop on pterygium? Kindly respond to me.
When do we remove a pterygium ? After it reaches the pupil ?
Dr. You are so smart. I find all your videos very informative. I have had myopia sice I was 9 years old. If I lived in your area, you would definitely be my eye doctor.
Thank you for teaching me my new favorite word - pinguecula 🙃
Ok. So this morning when I woke up I was fine. But when it hit lunch time my eye felt bruised. Like I got punched in the eye. I rubbed my eye because then it felt like something was in it. It was on the nasal part of my eye. When I blink it hurts. At the moment I see veins and its red but also I see a little raised bump 😧. Should I see an eye doctor??
Thank You Doc.
Can photocoagulation of the blood vessels of the pterygium be used for those that do not want surgery, after injection the subconjuctival region with lidocaine beneath the blood vessels, there lifting them from the eye surface, for ease of photocoagulation ?
What can i do against the growth of pterygium , it start to grow in the pupil ( am 75cyears old) without surgery?
Can these effect contact lenses not sitting on three eye correctly
Hi thank you Dr for this vidio it is very helpful
Glad you enjoyed it!
What type of eye drops can i use for pterygium? Can you help me guys
How can you create yellow bumps on your eyes ❓❓❓❓
I have a reddish brown Pterygium in both eyes but not too much it's just started growing so can you help me to correct this?
Can a light of my room can cause these problems?
I have it, and it is growing. Sir, kindly recommend eyes drop to enable me to get it away.
