Abstract

Objective:

To observe the therapeutic effects of limbal epithelial autograft transplantation for treatment of pterygium.

Methods:

Limbal epithelial autograft transplantation was performed on 68 cases (76 eyes) with pterygium or its recurrent lesion. The post-operative follow-up periods ranged from 6 to 18 months (mean, 9.8 months).

Results:

Of 68 cases (76 eyes), there were 56 cases (62 eyes) with stable epithelial healing, recovery of corneal transparency and no abnormal proliferation of pterygium-like tissue, and 12 cases (14 eyes) loss of follow-up.

Conclusion:

To provide new stem cell source for injured limbus with limbal epithelial autograft transplantation is a reasonable therapeutic method for treatment of pterygium.
