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 trial compares two surgical methods to see which one better prevents a pterygium (a fleshy growth on the eye) from returning. It may help people who have a pterygium for the first time and are looking for 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 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 trial compares two ways to do pterygium surgery: one with stitches and one without. It aims to see which method works better and helps you heal faster.
This study tests a new suture-free (stitch-free) hydrogel—a clear gel that helps heal eye surface wounds after surgery—to see if it works safely and effectively. If you have an eye surface disease like a pterygium (growth on the eye) or corneal ulcer (sore on the cornea) that needs surgery, this trial may help determine if this gel can replace traditional stitches.
