“Excess Sun Exposure Can Cause Pterygium”
Excess sun exposure can cause more than tanning — it can affect your eyes too.
Pterygium is a common eye growth linked to UV exposure.
Prolonged sunlight, dust, and wind increase the risk of developing pterygium, especially in hot climates.
Protect your eyes from UV damage this summer.
