Suggest Treatment For Redness In The Eye

Hello Sir,

I have a redness in my right eye .My eye has some white raised bumpy area which is close to the black part and eye is red in the place where the bump is there.There is no pain or irritation and it is there for almost 2 months.It gets worse if I go out in the wind.

Thanks

Hi..
Thanks for writing to us..
You could be having pterygium which is a membrane like thing just beside the black portion of the eye..
It is painless and as you rightly pointed out can cause occasional redness and burning sensation whenever you are exposed to sunlight..
It is a harmless condition as long as stays away from black part..
You can use artificial tear drops for relief..
Consult your eye doctor for detailed examination and treatment required if any..
Hope this information helps.. Will be available for any further query..
Take care..
