Management of pterygium in a case of post radial keratotomy

This study is a case of post radial keratotomy who underwent pterygium excision and its management. A 44 old high myope who underwent radial keratotomy more than a decade earlier underwent pterygium excision and conjunctval autograft. 6 months follow-up showed no recurrence of pterygium and improvement in corneal irregulalrity. Careful and meticulous dissection of pterygium over keratotomy wounds helps in prevention seroius complications during surgery.
