A pterygium is a triangular-shaped growth on the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane covering the white part of the eye. It extends from the cornea towards the nose and can cause redness, irritation, and visual disturbances. While not cancerous, it may require surgical removal if interfering with vision or causing persistent discomfort.
