Conjunctival Surgery for Pterygium Treatment
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgery to move a piece of the conjunctiva (the clear tissue covering the white of the eye) to treat a primary pterygium, which is a growth on the eye's surface that extends onto the cornea. It may help prevent the growth from returning and improve comfort and vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two surgical methods to see which better prevents a pterygium (a fleshy growth on the eye) from coming back. It may help people with a first-time pterygium choose a more effective treatment.
This trial tests a new way of stitching the eye after pterygium removal to see if it works better than the usual method. If you have a pterygium that needs surgery, this study might be for you.
This study compares two ways of doing surgery to remove a pterygium (a non-cancerous growth on the eye) and placing a graft of your own conjunctiva (the clear tissue covering the white of the eye). One method uses stitches; the other uses a special glue or no stitches. The goal is to see which method gives better results and recovery.
This trial compares how the curve of your cornea (which affects vision) changes before and after surgery to remove a pterygium—a fleshy growth on the eye—and repair the area with your own tissue. It is for adults with moderate to advanced pterygium that has already caused astigmatism.
This study compares two methods used during surgery for a first-time pterygium (a non-cancer growth on the eye surface): using a special glue versus cauterization. It may help determine which method works better to keep the growth from coming back and to heal more smoothly.
This study tests whether video-guided education and eye fixation training help patients stay calm and cooperate during pterygium surgery done under local anesthesia. It may reduce anxiety and improve the surgical experience.
