Conjunctivochalasis and pterygium, two common ocular conditions associated with inflammatory changes and elastic tissue abnormalities, often occur simultaneously, according to Tong and colleagues.
Successfully treating the coexisting conditions depends on considering them together, rather than separately, and understanding the impact of each on the patient before choosing a treatment strategy (Zhang and colleagues). Conjunctivochalasis (CCH) is characterized by loose and non-edematous folds of excess conjunctiva, generally in the inferior bulbar conjunctival area (Marmalidou and colleagues).
