It is very common to see these conditions in my city of origin, Cumana - Venezuela. My city is coastal and the sun is relentless, which is why ophthalmologists recommend wearing sunglasses, hats and refreshing the eyes with artificial tears. The pterygium can be quite annoying when it completely invades the cornea because it limits vision. The good thing is that the pterygium is removed with a simple surgery. Greetings.
