However, note that the solution stings a little but subsides moments after. I encourage any one with pterygium to try it. My only regret is that I didn't take pictures of the stage of the pterygium before treatment. I personally want to thank the folks at earth clinic for making this known to us.

I had pterygium in my left eye and came to earth clinic. I am currently taking ACV. I've had it for 3 months. The lump was bigger than a pin head and growing. It was hard like a callous compared to rest of eye. I put on aloe vera gel and rubbed on my eyelids an let some seep in. It stung for like 1/10 of a second, next morning it was significantly smaller. I used morning and night by second day it was completely gone. Plus my little red veins from being tired were also gone. Thanks earth clinic!

My eyes were getting infected every 3 to 4 weeks and were prone to getting bloodshot most of the time. And at night after computer and TV screen use, they would feel very uncomfortable and feel 'gritty' and I had trouble keeping that eye open due to the discomfort. This post put me onto Apple Cider Vinegar and after only a few days, the discomfort was far less. Now after 6 weeks of use, my eyes feel terrific...not bloodshot and no discomfort. However the 1:3 dilution was too aggressive and so I went for 1:5. Still stings and takes a bit of getting used to but I have had no side effects, except positive ones. Truly very happy

I have just been diagnosed with penguecular in both eyes which has been causing ityness and watery eyes for years. I always thought it was allergies so did the doctor so was treatng it as such. I have been using antihistmine which has had no effect (because it wasn't hayfever! ). Now I know what it is I can better help myself. I read here about ACV so have been using the ACV (with mother) recipe for about three weeks three times a day. Stings like crazy and eyes go a little blood shot for a few seconds. I'm presuming this is bringing nutrients to the eye? I haven't noticed any shrinking yet. When they start to feel a little itchy I put more drops in and it seems to give relief. I'm hopeful it might shrink the pings but just take time so I'll persevere. I will update in a few months.

Ive had a small pinguecula in my right eye for a few years now and a slightly larger one in my left eye. They would occasionally become irritated and itchy but for me I mostly hated the look of them! I felt self conscious of my eyes and didn't like that they always seemed yellowish and not clear.
I used the diluted Apple Cider Vinegar as directed on the website. (1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar plus 3 teaspoons distilled or filtered water) 1-2 drops in each eye 2-3 times a day.
It stings!! But only for a few seconds. At first I thought "Oh gosh, what have I done!?"
BUT!!!
It works!!! 3 weeks later one is completely gone, and the other one is nothing but A mere speck! Completely unnoticeable unless I look very closely! My eyes are clear and really white again. I am so happy!!

used for 9 months now, and I started right after eye doctor said my Pterygium is growing back after having it surgically removed. I had my check up at 6 months of using the solution, and the eye doctors photos of my eyes shows no new growth, and actually to me, looked a little better. Its now 9 months later, drops few times a day..and my eyes do feel better, and looks as Pterygium is not growing. I didn't want to report until I felt my study was thorough. I have gotten used to the slight burn of the Apple Cider vinegar, but the relief outweighs that.

I think the dry, sensitive eyes is the reason that my eyes were yellowish and also why I developed a pinguculae in each eye.
The one on my left eye is quite small. The one my right eye is much larger.
So, one day, whilst browsing the internet I discovered that vit c eyedrops were very good for the eyes. Occular fluid should have a high concentration of vit c. I made my own eye drops using water and vitamin c powder (to 10%). You store them in a dark glass bottle in the fridge. Do not use plastic. The eye drops sting a bit for about 20 seconds. I put 3 drops in each eye once a day.
My eyes became beautifully moisturised and the whites became whiter and the blood vessels became less obvious (less red and angry). The pings became less obvious too.
Unfortunately, the ping on my right eye is bad at the moment because I used old mascara and its caused my right eye a lot of irritation. My eye became inflamed and red and the ping became very obvious.
I did try diluted apple cider vinegar (3:1) but honestly it stung my eyes too much.
So, I have now discovered that the ping is made up of collagen and calcium.
I am now going to try a more diluted solution of acv. But, I am also going to put magnesium chloride solution in to my eyes to see if that helps. You see, my line of thought is this: I need to dissolve the calcium deposits in the ping. So, I'm going to use a three pronged approach, vit c in the morning for occular fluid, magnesium chloride solution in the late afternoon to dissolve calcium and apple cider vinegar in the evening.
I will keep you posted on how I get on.

I had a ptyregium in both eyes, and I applied apple cider vinegar for it for one month already and I felt it worsen, I can't see from a far anymore. Can someone advice please? Thank you.

I started by making 1 part Apple Cider Vinegar and 3 part water. I would put drops into the affected eye. I tried this for about 6 months. Size of the pterygiun dropped. Wanna tell you something today. 2 weeks ago I started drinking Acv, one glass of water warm with 2 table spoons of Apple Cider Vinegar first thing in the morning and at bedtime.
Whaasaa results were shocking. Black part of the eye is coming out after 7 years. I have put my glasses away.... Unbelievable.

I tried apple cider vinegar and castor oil without success. I then had a look in the homeopathic Materia Medica and got rid of the pterygium by taking the homeopathic remedies Merc Cor 30 (Mercurius corrosivus) and Ant Tart 30 (Antimonium Tartaricum). It took a few weeks.

And this morning, when I woke up, I didn't have near the irritation that I usually have!! OH HAPPY DAY!! And only after one application. I am ecstatic and hopeful that after a few applications I'll have my nice, white color back to my eyes, and the pterygiums will disappear. I'll post an update after a couple of weeks. I'm soooo thankful that I stumbled onto this website, as I had no hope in sight for relief for my eyes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
