   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know surgery may be advised for ongoing irritation, growth toward my pupil, vision changes, or eye-movement problems.
   • I review the expected benefits, alternatives, and what may happen if the pterygium continues to grow.
   • I understand the risks, including recurrence, infection, bleeding, scarring, graft movement, double vision, and vision loss.
   • I follow instructions for food, medicines, contacts, and eye makeup and arrange a driver and home support afterward.
