Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is diagnosed with pterygium. There is no natural cure for this and not all pterygiums requires surgery. Only those pterygiums which progress and encroach the cornea require treatment.
The pterygium which is static without showing any progression can be watched at regular intervals without need for surgery.
Hence no need to worry as of now if the condition is progressive she need to undergo surgery.
Thank you
