A Study on Sutureless and Glue-free Conjunctival Autograft in Pterygium Surgery in A Tertiary Medical College Hospital

Background: Foreign material used in ocular surface surgery may lead to local complications such as discomfort, scarring, or infection. Plasma-derived products such as fibrin glue may produce hypersensivity reactions whereas the risk of viral transmission remains. We describe a simple method of achieving conjunctival autograft adherence during pterygium surgery avoiding potential complications associated with the use of fibrin glue or sutures
