Thank you for your question-hearing about real experiences is valuable when considering surgery.
Patients who have undergone pterygium surgery at Istanbul hospitals generally report positive outcomes. Most experience some discomfort, redness, or a foreign body sensation in the first days after surgery, but these symptoms usually improve with proper medication and care. Recovery typically involves using prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops, protecting the eye from sunlight with sunglasses, and avoiding dust or smoke. Pain is usually mild and can be managed with cold compresses and pain relievers recommended by your doctor.
Cosmetic results are often very good, with most patients noting a significant improvement in redness and irritation after healing. Recurrence rates are low when advanced techniques like conjunctival autograft are used, and most complications are rare if post-operative instructions are followed.
Full recovery may take a few weeks, and attending follow-up appointments is important to monitor healing and address any concerns. Overall, Istanbul hospitals are well-equipped and patients are generally satisfied with both the surgical results and the recovery process.
