Hi guys,
This is just a reminder to you all to make sure you protect your eyes with UV-protected sunglasses while doing the sport that we so love.
Everyone knows or is constantly warned about the dangers of the sun and skin cancer but not much is said about the damage that is caused to ones eyes by the sun and elements we endure while chasing those prized fish.
I finally decided to rid myself of the irritant that had been bothering me for a couple of years and which was a point of ridicule by my kids (little bustuds!!). a PTERYGIUM (pronounced "ter-iji-um") is caused by exposure to the elements and is a growth on the eyeball that sticks out of the tear-layer that we all have on our eyeballs.
The growth becomes dry, irritated and scratchy resulting in constant irritation.
