A pterygium, from the Greek word for "wing," is an abnormal growth of tissue that extends from the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) onto the cornea. Pterygia may be small, or grow large enough to interfere with vision and cause irritation. These growths are commonly located on the inner corner of the eye. Symptoms Appearance of a raised pink, white, or red lesion on the eye Redness and irritation of the eye Foreign body sensation Decreased or blurry vision The symptoms described above may not necessarily mean that you have a pterygium. However, if you experience one or more of these symptoms, contact your ophthalmologist for a complete exam.

Glaucoma is most often caused by abnormally high pressure inside the eye caused by the buildup of aqueous humor, a clear fluid which is constantly produced inside the eye. The fluid buildup happens when the channels draining the fluid out of the eye are defective (open angle) or obstructed (closed angle), thus leading to rise in eye pressure and optic nerve damage.

Pain in the eye and around the eye can have many causes. In some cases, such as an eye injury, the cause of the pain is obvious. But often it is difficult to know why your eye hurts. To complicate matters, the severity of eye pain does not indicate how serious the underlying cause of the discomfort is. In other words, a relatively minor problem, such as a superficial abrasion of the cornea, can be very painful. But several very serious eye conditions - including cataracts, macular degeneration, the most common type of glaucoma, a detached retina, and diabetic eye disease - cause no eye pain whatsoever.
