Abstract: Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of pterygium treated by grafting auto conjunctiva and amniotic membrane transplantation.Methods 82 patients with primary pterygium were selected,and the number of affected eyes was 97.The eyes were randomly divided into A group and B group.Grafting auto conjunctiva was used in A group after pterygium cut,while amniotic membrane transplantation used in B group.The situation of conjunctiva and cornea and the proliferation of artery and pterygium were observed.Results The mean time of epithelial healing time in A group (5.21 ± 1.08) d was significantly shorter than that (7.16 ± 1.57) d in B group (t =5.973,P ＜0.05).The relapse rate in A group was 2.04％,which was lower than 16.67％ in B group (x2 =29.364,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The relapse rate after pterygium cut in surgery could be reduced by grafting auto conjunctiva with cornea,and the speed of corneal wound repair could be accelerated.The effect was good,and it was worthy of clinical application.
