We describe a novel technique for recurrent pterygium and assess the advantage of properties of extended tenonectomy, amniotic membrane transplantation, and limbal epithelial transplantation in terms of recurrence rate, postoperative symptoms, postoperative orthoptics, and other complications. A total of nine eyes with recurrent pterygium underwent PERMISLET, i.e.

Purpose: The purpose of this case series is to report three cases of exposed, unburied polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-tex) sutures used for scleral fixated intraocular lenses and their management, including failure of pericardial patch and success of irradiated corneal patch. This series aims to inform management options for this uncommon adverse event.

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.
