The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of an ocular medication on the treatment of pterygium.
Following informed consent, patients with pterygium who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomized to an 84-day double-blinded study to measure the safety and efficacy of the study drug as compared to placebo.

Change From Baseline in Pterygium Hyperemia Grading at Day 28
Pterygium hyperemia grading will be assessed by the principal investigator using the slitlamp and anterior photography, based on the predefined vascularity scale as follows: 0 = no pterygium tissue present; no fibrovascular tissue crossing the cornea limbus 1. = Trace; pterygium translucent and difficult to distinguish from surrounding conjunctiva; episcleral vessels easily visible; minimally dilated vessels with slight density increase 2. = Mild; the pterygium pink in color; vessels dilated with mild density increase; slight obstructionwith episceral vessels still distinguishable. 3. = Moderate; pterygium red in color and thicker than surrounding conjunctiva; vessels engorged; some white scleral tissue visible; episcleral vessels obscured \& indistinguishable. 4. = Severe; pterygium deep, bright, and diffusely red; severe vessel density increase; vessels engorged; no white scleral tissue visualized; episcleral vessels \& tissues obscured by network of vessels.
Time frame: 28 days
Change From Baseline in Pterygium Characteristics at Day 28
Pterygium length will be measured by the principal investigator on the slitlamp. The length of the pterygium is measured from the a) conjunctiva where the pterygium tissue with dilated blood vessels that can be distinguished from the surrounding conjunctiva to b) where the head of encroachment ends on the cornea
Time frame: 28 days
