In this 3D model, a Grade 3 pterygium is depicted, where the conjunctival growth significantly extends onto the cornea, potentially causing considerable visual distortion. The visualization shows a more pronounced vascularization of the tissue, which can lead to astigmatism, reduced vision, and potential discomfort. This model is essential for ophthalmologists and medical students to understand the severe stage of pterygium, its clinical implications, and treatment options, including surgical removal or conjunctival grafting to restore vision and alleviate symptoms.
