Pterygium is a degenerative condition of the subconjunctival tissue, which proliferates as vascularised granulation tissue to invade the cornea, destroying the superficial layers of stroma and Bowman’s membrane, the whole being covered by conjunctival epithelium.1 It can vary from small, atrophic pterygium to large, advancing pterygium obscuring the optical center of the cornea. The natural history of the condition is variable, prolonged static periods do exist. Anti-inflammatory drugs and lubricants have an important role in minimising the patient's discomfort, but it does not cure the disease. Hence, surgical excision of the pterygium is the most widely accepted treatment for pterygium with the main aim to reduce the recurrence of the lesion.2 Many surgical treatments have been described over the years. The aim of the study is to compare postoperative outcome using 2 different techniques of conjunctival autograft after pterygium excision with sutures vs. without sutures using autologous blood.
