- Researchers used electronic medical records from Clalit Health Services in Israel, comparing over 94,000 pterygium patients with nearly 379,000 matched controls based on age, sex, and ethnicity.
- Results showed significant associations between pterygium and several inflammatory conditions, both ocular (like vernal keratoconjunctivitis and blepharitis) and systemic (like asthma and atopic dermatitis), indicating these conditions may increase the risk of developing pterygium.
