About this trial

The goal of this study is to find out if a certain technique in pterygium excision surgery ,using no sutures, is better than the technique mostly used ,which uses sutures.

Investigators aim to find out whether the no sutures technique provides better efficiency and patient satisfaction than the traditional approach. They predict that if this study provides evidence of the advantages of this technique over the one used, surgeons would be encouraged to use it instead. Because not only would the patient benefit, the surgeon also may save operative time and effort used in the technique which uses sutures.
