Abstract:
We investigated the effects of pterygium excision using the limbal conjunctival autografting technique on the tear function tests in 14 eyes of 13 patients. Since no difference was found in the Schirmer and tear break-up time tests at one and six months postoperative vs preoperative pterygium excision does not affect tear function test results during short-term follow up.
