Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Superior Conjunctival Autograft
Conjunctival autograft following pterygium excision is taken from superior conjunctival tissue.
Location of the autograft taken following pterygium excision
Following pterygium excision, a conjunctival autograft is taken from either the superior or inferior conjunctiva.
Inferior Conjunctival Autograft
Conjunctival autograft following pterygium excision is taken from inferior conjunctival tissue.
Location of the autograft taken following pterygium excision
Following pterygium excision, a conjunctival autograft is taken from either the superior or inferior conjunctiva.

Location of the autograft taken following pterygium excision
Following pterygium excision, a conjunctival autograft is taken from either the superior or inferior conjunctiva.
Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Ability to understand the nature of the procedure and to complete all measurement requirements
Exclusion Criteria
* Ocular surface disease apart from pterygium (such as severe dry eye, corneal disease, scarring from previous infection, radiotherapy, inflammatory diseases or trauma)
* Patients who have had previous ocular surface surgery
* Patients with glaucoma or those who may need glaucoma surgery in the future
* 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)
