Pterygium – Flügelfell

Flügelfell (Pterygium)

Ein Pterygium ist eine degenerative Erkrankung der Bindehaut: der nasenwärtige Teil der Bindehaut schwillt an und mit der Zeit kann diese Schwellung auch auf die Hornhaut übergreifen und diese narbig verändern. Das Flügelfell ist eine direkt durch Sonnenlicht verursachte Erkrankung und hängt mit der Gesamtmenge UV-Bestrahlung zusammen, der ein Auge während eines gesamten Lebens ausgesetzt ist. Menschen, die jahrelang viel Sonne oder großer Höhe ausgesetzt waren, bekommen häufiger ein Pterygium als andere. Dementsprechend findet sich die Erkrankung häufiger bei Menschen aus dem Mittelmeerraum oder aber bei Menschen, welche in der Höhe leben.

Symptome

Ein Pterygium führt zu einer Reihe von Symptomen:

  • Trockene Augen: Normalerweise befeuchten die Augenlider die Oberfläche durch die regelmäßigen Augenlid-Bewegungen, ähnlich den Scheibenwischern an einem Auto. Das Flügelfell stellt nun einen “Buckel” auf der Oberfläche dar und in der Umgebung dieses Buckels wird der Tränenfilm nicht verteilt. Es entsteht ein trockenes Auge.
  • Rötungen: Als Folge des chronisch Trockenen Auges entsteht eine dauerhafte Reizung und Rötung. Die trockene Oberfläche führt zu einer eingeschränkten Sehkraft, Verschwommen- und Nebelsehen.

Pterygiumchirurgie – von uns operiert

Ein Flügelfell kann chirurgisch entfernt werden. In einem ersten Schritt wird das Flügelfell unter dem Operationsmikroskop mit Skalpell und Schere entfernt und die Bindehaut wieder verschlossen. Dies geschieht entweder direkt oder unter Verwendung eines Bindehaut-Transplantats. Ein Flügelfell kann eine sehr hohe Wiederkehr-Rate aufweisen, denn auch mikroskopisch kleine Teile können zum Nachwachsen führen.

Sonnenbrillen – Schutz vor Flügelfell und frühzeitigem Grauen Star

Dieser Film der European Sunglas Association wurde unter Mitwirkung von Prof. Hafezi vom ELZA Institute erstellt und erklärt die Wirkung von zu viel Sonnenlicht auf das Auge. Neben der Bindehaut können auch andere Strukturen des Auges leiden, wie zum Beispiel die menschliche Augenlinse oder sogar die Netzhaut.

Overall as a 50 year old, who wanted to continue to avoid wearing glasses and/or contact lenses, my goal was 100%... achieved with ELZA and Dr. Hafezi. I greatly appreciated the overall approach by Dr. Hafezi and his friendly and competent team in reviewing my vision at the start and following a comprehensive eye exam- the explanations of my options. For me I chose PRK in one eye for a monovision solution to correct short sightedness which was becoming more prevalent in night driving and sports such as skiing and cycling. PRK heals slowly but the outcome is worth the wait- and the cost- you use your eyes every waking moment- and for me I cannot see any reason not to pursue better vision with the ELZA team! A great quality of life enhancement!weiterlesen

I have been to the ELZA clinic to have surgery for my miopy, as my eyes were rejecting the contacts and I was tired of... wearing glasses. From the first preliminary visit, to the actual surgery and post-surgery care Dr. Hafezi and all his collaborators have been extremely professional, considerate and helpful. All the steps of the (very short!) surgery were thoroughly explained to me in order to be as calm as possible, together with the medication plan and precautions to be aware of so that my eyes could heal in the best way possible. By following their exact instructions, the healing process has been very successful and smooth, and after about one week I was able to see perfectly. I absolutely recommend this team and their expertise!weiterlesen

After some research on local options I decided to go with ELZA since it stood out as the best. The operation and the... post-operation recovery went extremely smooth (something I was worried about with PRK). Now my vision is much better than I had hoped and I have no side effects such as dry eye or night vision problems. Thank you!weiterlesen

My left eye had to be operated on because of a cataract. As I had an Artiflex lens implanted a few years ago, it had to... be removed first before a modern lens could be implanted to correct the cataract. Prof. Hafezi treated me in an very competent and friendly manner. I am very happy with the result.weiterlesen

At the moment, 3 months have passed since the moment I made laser vision correction in this clinic. and I can say that... I am happy that I chose this particular clinic and Prof. F. Hafezi. The entire staff of the clinic is very friendly, treats patients with sympathy and patience if they are nervous before surgery (my big gratitude to Aida Alili for all support and patience). The doctor Hafezi and other doctors of the clinic are very professional and ready to explain to you as many times as you need. I can only recommend!weiterlesen

The day I had Prof Hafezi checking my keratoconus I knew I was finally in the right place after years of searching for... a good ophthalmologist. Prof Hafezi recommended a surgery due to a drastic degeneration of my cornea. The surgery was performed by himself with the assistance of Dr Rodriguez, one more collaborator of Prof Hafezi’s team who got my full trust.weiterlesen

Professor Hafezi and the team at the ELZA Institute have done an amazing job of creating a first class eye clinic, with... cutting edge technology and support. I went there for a dry eye issue and other issues with my prescription, and they were easily able to help me and put me on the road to better vision! High recommend them to anyone in the Zurich/Aargau area.weiterlesen
