Dr. Judy Ku discusses how his patients feel after pterygium in this post
What’s the recovery like after pterygium surgery?
Within the first 24 to 48 hours, it is common for the eye to feel a tad irritated and sensitive to light.
Some patients might feel more pain on the first night, although we provide strong pain relief to help with that.
After the patch comes off, you’ll find your vision a little bit blurry to start, but it will gradually recover over the subsequent seven days.
Usually, at the one week mark, your eyes might still feel irritated, but you’ll feel a lot better with swift vision recovery. By the one month mark, you’ll feel mostly back to your normal self.
