Comparison of 4 techniques for limbal-conjunctival autograft fixation in primary pterygium surgery.

Purpose: To compare 4 limbal-conjunctival autograft fixation techniques-conventional suture, commercial fibrin glue, autologous fibrin glue, and cautery-in primary nasal pterygium surgery.

Methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive study. The postoperative patient discomfort, graft edema, ocular inflammation, and other complications of 4 limbal-conjunctival autograft fixation techniques in primary nasal pterygium surgery were evaluated.

Fuchs' superficial marginal keratitis managed with circumferential marginal corneoscleral lamellar patch graft.

Purpose: To report a case of Fuchs' superficial marginal keratitis managed with circumferential marginal corneoscleral lamellar patch graft.

Methods: Interventional case report.

Results: A 34-year-old man presented with several years' history of ill-defined symptoms of binocular ocular irritation associated with vision loss, mostly in the left eye.

Symptomatic management of postoperative bullous keratopathy with nonpreserved human amniotic membrane.

Purpose: To report the results of the management of painfully symptomatic postoperative bullous keratopathy (PBK) by performing a nonpreserved human amniotic membrane (NP-AMT) transplantation in nine eyes with poor visual potential.

Methods: A prospective, comparative, nonrandomized management of symptomatic PBK was done by performing a complete corneal de-epithelialization followed by a NP-AMT transplantation (NP-AMT group) or no NP-AMT transplantation (control group). We evaluated time for re-epithelialization, patient's symptoms, and appearance of new bullae.
