We call it surfer’s eye and red eye, but the scientific jargon is pterygium. So, what are the causes, symptoms and treatments for a fairly common problem in surfing? Blame it on the elements. Sun, sand, wind and salt are responsible for the surfer’s eye. Although the exact cause is still unknown, scientists believe the problem is twice as likely to occur in men than women. Itchiness, irritation, eye redness, inflammation, burning and tearing are the most commons symptoms of pterygium. In the worst cases, patients refer vision problems that may lead to surgery.
