FP1209 : Incidence of dry eye, refractive error changes and recurrence rate in the management of pterygium

Dr.Malsawmtluanga, M18047

Comparative study of dry eye changes, refractive error changes and recurrence rate of pterygium between the two techniques of conjunctival autografting and conjunctival autografting with intraoperative application of mitomycin-c shows that intraoperative application of mitomycin-c does not induce dry eye. On refractive error changes, based on visual acuity, astigmatism and spherical error, there is no difference of outcome on using intraoperative mitomycin-c. Conjunctival autograft surgery alone for primary pterygium is effective and safe in reducing the recurrence rate of pterygium within 6 months
