Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effect of transplantation of limbal autograft following microsurgery for pterygium. Method: Fifty-seven eyes with pterygium were treated by transplantation of limbal autograft combined with modification of ocular reconstruction. Results: During a follow-up of 12 to 24 months, no recurrence and no sub-epithelial fibro-vascular proliferation were found and all achieved a radical cure. Conclusion: Transplantation of limbal autograft is an effective microsurgical treatment for pterygium.
