Safety and efficacy of "hydro-fluorescein" technique in removing Tenon in pterygium surgery: a 1-year follow-up study.

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness and safety of the "hydro-fluorescein" adjunct technique for primary pterygium removal.

Design/methods: A non-randomized prospective study was conducted for various types of pterygium excision with superior bulbar conjunctival autograft (CAG) and fibrin glue. We introduced fluorescein staining to ensure thorough elimination of the Tenon tissue around the bare sclera area and the CAG.

Deeply Embedded Corneal Foreign Bodies With Fungal Keratitis Secondary to Rambutan Fruit Fall.

Rambutan is widely found in remote areas in Southeast Asia. It may lead to serious ocular trauma if it accidentally hits the eyes. This case report describes a patient who presented with deeply embedded cornea foreign body and fungal keratitis following direct ocular trauma by rambutan fruit.

Corneo-pterygium total area measurements utilising image analysis method.

Purpose: To describe an objective method to accurately quantify corneo-pterygium total area (CPTA) by utilising image analysis method and to evaluate its association with corneal astigmatism (CA).

Methods: 120 primary pterygium participants were selected from patients who visited an ophthalmology clinic. We adopted image analysis software in calculating the size of invading pterygium to the cornea.

Prediction of Changes in Visual Acuity and Contrast Sensitivity Function by Tissue Redness after Pterygium Surgery.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to predict visual acuity (VA) and contrast sensitivity function (CSF) with tissue redness grading after pterygium surgery.

Materials And Methods: A total of 67 primary pterygium participants were selected from patients who visited an ophthalmology clinic. We developed a semi-automated computer program to measure the pterygium fibrovascular redness from digital pterygium images.
