Question:
What is a terigian? I have a small white bump in my eye -someone said it may be a terigian?
I have a small white bump in my eye between the white and brown part -someone said it may be a terigian but they are not sure what it is exactly or what causes it. And I cant find anything on the web about it. thanks for your help
Answers:
Yes the reason you can't find anything is because its spelled pterygium. People who get them usually live in tropical climates or spend lots of time in the sun. Its a small wedged shaped growth which spreads from the sclera (white part) to your cornea (part above your iris). Depending on size, location and symptoms it could be many many things. I think it would be best to see a ophthalmologist to find out what it is and what you can do about it. :) hope that helps
