Hi
Is that pterygium that you mean. You appear to be having recurrence in the operated eyes. The disease is thought to be due to UV exposure leading to stem cell deficiency . The preferred mode of treatment is pterygium removal with conjunctival autograft. This decreases the chances of recurrence.meanwhile protecting eyes from UV rays by uv protecting sun glasses is recommended.
Best wishes
