Purpose: Surgery is the definitive treatment for pterygium; therefore, reliable animal models are required for translational research. The goal of this investigation was to establish a standardized preclinical model of pterygium-like lesion.

Methods: A subconjunctival injection of fibroblasts (NIH3T3) and extracellular matrix was administered to 22 New Zealand rabbits.

Background: Translational research to develop pharmaceutical and surgical treatments for pterygium requires a reliable and easy to produce animal model. Extracellular matrix and fibroblast are important components of pterygium. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of the subconjunctival injection of fibroblast cells (NIH3T3 cell line) and exogenous extracellular matrix in rabbits in producing a pterygium-like lesion.
