Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of strontium-yttrium-90 beta-irradiation in treating both primary and recurrent pterygia, focusing on recurrence rates and functional outcomes.
- Over a follow-up period averaging nearly 47 months, the treatment successfully reduced the size of all pterygia without any reported recurrences or side effects and improved visual acuity and astigmatism.
- The findings suggest that this beta-irradiation treatment is efficient and well-tolerated, offering better aesthetic and rehabilitative outcomes compared to traditional methods, particularly for recurrent cases after surgery.
