This procedure removes a growth of pink, fleshy tissue that has formed on the white part of the eye and extended onto the clear front surface, called the cornea. This kind of growth is often linked to long-term sun or wind exposure and can cause irritation or blurred vision as it grows. The tissue is removed without placing a separate patch of tissue over the area afterward.
