Treatment options remain vast and include surgical excision, curettage, laser therapies, or topical agents, all with varying efficacies.

A recent prospective study highlighted the efficacy of topical 0.5% timolol eye drops, particularly in ophthalmic PG cases, with 77.5% achieving an excellent response, complete resolution over a 6-month follow-up, and no complications.
