This model illustrates Grade 1 pterygium, a mild form of the condition where a small, benign growth of conjunctival tissue extends onto the cornea. The visualization highlights the minimal involvement of the cornea, with the pterygium showing slight vascularization and a limited impact on vision. This model is useful for ophthalmologists and medical students to understand the early stages of pterygium development and to explore treatment options such as observation or topical steroids to manage symptoms.
