Established in 2009 in Tucson, Arizona, Catalina Eye Care is a premier multispecialty ophthalmology and optometry practice providing comprehensive eye care, including routine, cosmetic, and surgical services.
Catalina Eye Care is skilled in the treatment and surgical removal of pterygium — a benign but potentially vision-impairing growth on the eye. This condition, starting as a pingueculum confined to the conjunctiva, can advance onto the cornea, leading to irritation and vision issues.
Often associated with UV light exposure and environmental factors, pterygium can cause discomfort and redness, and in advanced stages, grow over the pupil, affecting vision. Surgery is recommended for severe cases to remove the growth and preserve eyesight. While surgery is the most definitive treatment, we focus on comprehensive care, including preventative measures and ongoing management to address and reduce the risks of recurrence.
