Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Size of pterygium greater than 2.5 mm over the cornea (pterygia smaller than this do not result in much postoperative eye pain)
* Ability to understand the nature of the procedure and to complete all measurement requirements
* Adults (age greater than 18)
Exclusion Criteria
* Patients who have had previous ocular surface surgery
* Contraindications to local anesthetics (such as known allergy)
* Pregnancy (as the risk to the fetus with the use of topical antibiotic drops and local anesthetics are not known)
* Patients already on systemic analgesics for any other reason (such as rheumatoid arthritis)
* Allergy to codeine (in order to standardize the systemic analgesic used so that we can compare the effect of bandage contact lens versus 24 hour patching)
