Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of augmenting conjunctival autografting with intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) application Ologen implantation in the management of recurrent pterygium.
Materials And Methods: This prospective randomised study included 63 eyes of 63 patients, with recurrent nasal pterygium, who presented to the outpatient clinic of Menoufia University Hospital in Shebin El Kom and Manshiet Soltan from January 2016 to December 2019. Patients were randomly enrolled into two groups.
Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) and its impact on school children in Egypt.
Methods: A total of 3,706 students from six randomly selected schools of Menoufia were included where 126 had symptoms according to the VKC related symptoms questionnaire. Selected children were referred to a hospital for further assessment.
Purpose: To evaluate postoperative outcome and recurrence rate after primary pterygium excision using preoperative versus intraoperative subpterygial Mitomycin C (MMC) injection.
Methods: Eighty-three eyes with primary pterygium were divided into 2 groups. Group A (35 eyes) was operated upon with pterygium excision 5 min after subpterygial injection of 0.
Purpose: This study was conducted in an attempt to identify the regional, geographic, climatic, socioeconomic, and other risk factors for microbial keratitis in south Nile Delta, Egypt.
Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study that was carried out on 340 eyes of 340 patients with microbial keratitis attending at the outpatient clinic of Ophthalmology Department of Menoufia University Hospital during a period of three years between March 2010 and March 2013.
Results: Epidemiological factors, lines of management, and follow-up results were recorded and statistically analyzed and there were regional variations in the prevalence, risk factors, and outcome in resistant corneal ulcers.
Purpose: To evaluate postoperative outcome and recurrence rate after primary pterygium excision using preoperative Mitomycin C (MMC) injection versus limbal conjunctival autograft transplantation (LCAT).
Methods: Ninety-one eyes with primary pterygium were divided into 2 groups. Group A eyes (included 48 eyes) were operated upon with pterygium excision 1 month after subpterygial injection of MMC 0.

Methods: Iris neovascularization was created in cynomolgus monkeys by occluding retinal veins with an argon laser and inducing persistent hypotony with a central corneal suture. Twenty-four eyes were treated in three groups.
