A pterygium on an 8 month old?

Posted By Amy F. on June 11, 1999 at 16:18:11
My 8 month old was diagnosed today with a pterygium on his right eye.  We live in Maryland, USA and he is RARELY outdoors.  When hs is outdoors it is early morning or late evening and he always wears a hat with a visor.  His sun exposure is very limited.  He was perscribed a steroid/antibiotic eye drop treatment for 11 days.  How did my son develop a pterygium?  I'm not able to determine a cause for this.  Could it be anything else?  Amy F.
