Treatment of (recurrent) pterygium oculi by lamellar keratoplasty

Apart from cosmetic problems, pterygium oculi can cause functional disturbances, especially when it recurs after (repeated) operative removal: diplopia and/or reduced visual acuity. The results we obtained with the treatment of these functional disturbances by various types of lamellar keratoplasty in 20 patients (22 eyes) are good.
