Hi Peter I have pterygium in both eyes. I've been using the Acv drops for 6 months now, redness has improved but still have the white blob on my iris. Did yours go completely if so how long did it take?

Hi. I have been using the Apple Cider Vinegar drops for 4 months now though the white blob pterygium is still on my cornea, so far the Apple Cider Vinegar has helped with the redness and irritation but white fleshy part is still on the rim of the iris. How ling did it take for yours to go completely?

I have had pterygium in both eyes for 3 years. I looked online for a natural solution to the problem since I couldn't afford surgery which is not only too costly but will not provide a permanent solution as pterygium is said to reappear after surgery. I came across this website. I mixed 4 part water and 1 part ACV and applied that very night. I woke in the morning and was surprised to notice the pterygium had shrunk a little. I have been using this solution for 2 months and the pterygium is almost gone.

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 want your advice please

I have a pterygium that was causing my great discomfort.

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

Not much improvement but hopeful.

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.

ACV is the best my friend used it for 4 -5 months and this thing had already grown on the black part of his eyes AMAZINGLY after 4 -5 months of ACV, 1 teaspoon ACV and 3 teaspoons of water 3 times a day. It is almost completely gone. Be consistent and patient. I also have the same thing and have been using it for well over 1.5 months and seeing a big difference, white eyes, itchiness, and irritation are so much better now and even the growth is minimized. I will follow up in the future after a few months. Our doctors told us that the surgery should be the last option and is almost not advised as the regrowth will be worst. We were also advised to wear special sunglasses which were super expensive but isn't a bad idea to keep the direct UV rays out.

I checked Earth Clinic for pinguecula remedies but none came up. I searched pterygium and saw many good results with Apple Cider vinegar so I thought I'd try it.

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!!
