Methodology :- Fifty Six eyes with primary pterygium were graded, and excision was performed by single surgeon. To prevent recurrence, conjunctival autograft (CAG) was taken from superotemporal from the same eye. Bleeding was induced in episcleral vessels of bare sclera and CAG was moved over it. No sutures or fibrin glue was applied , allowing natural autologous coagulum of the recipient bed to act as a bioadhesive. The outcomes were assessed in terms of post of foreign body sensation , any recurrence, complication(s), and operative time at each follow-up visit Results:-In 48 (85.7%) cases cosmetic appearance was good on Post op Day 1, in 1 case (1.7%) graft had moved superiorly in 3 cases (5.3%) graft retraction were noted on 1 week follow up and in 2 (3.5%) graft was completely out
Conclusion:- This technique is proving to be cheap,easy,patient & doctor friendly with minimum post op symptoms of pain, foreign body sensation, watering & complete recovery between 2-3 wks.
