Summary
This study compares two stitching methods used during surgery for pterygium, a growth on the eye's surface. Forty people with primary pterygium will be randomly assigned to receive either a new compression continuous suture or the traditional suture technique. The goal is to see which method leads to faster surgery, less discomfort, and better graft stability.
