Mitomycin C (MMC), as it could reduce tissue adhesions and scar formation, has been widely adopted in pterygium surgery to lower the recurrence rate.Upon a certain therapeutic effect obtained, a variety of ocular complications was combined and always occupies a quite long time after MMC application.once occurred, it was tough to cure.
