Study of Corneal Astigmatism and Visual Acuity in Pterygium Surgery with Sutureless, Glueless Limboconjunctival Autograft
Abstract: Aim - To study Corneal Astigmatism and Visual Acuity in patients undergoing pterygium surgery with sutureless, glueless limboconjunctival Autograft and to correlate it with the size of pterygium. Materials and Methods - 30 patients with primary pterygium coming to the Outpatient Department of Subharti Hospital, Meerut were included in this study. After measurement of BCVA and K- readings, all patients underwent pterygium surgery with sutureless, glueless limboconjunctival autograft. Patients were followed up at 1st week, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th month postoperatively. BCVA and K-readings were measured on each follow up visit. Observation and Results - There was a statistically significant improvement in visual acuity and corneal astigmatism postoperatively (p value
