Summary

This study tested two methods of securing a tissue graft after removing a pterygium (a growth on the eye). In 30 patients with pterygium in both eyes, one eye received stitches and the other a stitchless technique. The goal was to see which method leads to faster healing, less discomfort, and better cosmetic results. The stitchless approach may offer a simpler, more comfortable recovery.
