Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Pterygium is a common ocular surface disorder characterized by a fibrovascular growth extending onto the cornea, often leading to visual impairment through induced astigmatism and corneal distortion. Surgical excision is the primary treatment, with Amniotic Membrane Grafts (AMG) and Conjunctival Autografts (CAG) being the prevalent techniques. This study aims to compare the autorefractive changes post-pterygium excision using AMG versus CAG.
