New laser technique for pterygia

ABSTRACT

Thirty eight cases of pterygia [47 eyes] had been examined and treated by preoperative laserisation, excision, and postoperative laserisation, This new laser technique proved satisfactory and it resulted in no recurrences either in the primary or recurrent pterygia. The electron micrographs showed the massive changes which had been observed. These changes were the primary cause for absence of recurrences in both groups, together with the postoperative laserisation done on the second postoperative day
