Changes in the Corneal Curvature after Pterygium Surgery
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
In 24 pterygium patients, the corneal curvature was measured before and after surgical removal. The horizontal curvature increased more than 0. 5 D in 66.7% of cases on the 2 to 3 weeks postoperatively.
The vertical curvature, however, showed no marked tendency to changes, and only 25% of cases showed more than 0. 5 D increase on the 2 to 3 weeks postoperatively.
As the pterygium invades the cornea more extensively, the horizontal corneal curvature increased more markedly.
