Objective:

To optimize surgical outcomes and prevent recurrence of pterygium through effective treatment strategies, ultimately enhancing patient quality of life.

Key Findings:

• Optimal timing for pterygium removal is crucial to prevent corneal scarring and recurrence, impacting long-term visual health.
• Preoperative treatment of ocular inflammation can enhance surgical outcomes, leading to faster recovery.
• Cryopreserved amniotic membranes significantly aid in reducing recurrence rates, providing a valuable tool in surgical management.

Interpretation:

Effective management of pterygium involves careful timing of surgery, addressing ocular inflammation, and utilizing advanced surgical techniques, such as CAMs, to minimize recurrence and improve patient satisfaction.

Limitations:

• The study does not provide long-term data on recurrence rates post-surgery, which is essential for evaluating treatment efficacy.
• Variability in patient responses to treatment may affect outcomes, highlighting the need for personalized approaches.

Conclusion:

A comprehensive approach to pterygium treatment, including timely surgical intervention, the use of CAMs, and thorough patient education, can lead to improved patient outcomes and reduced recurrence.
