Abstract

Lamellar keratoplasty is the most effective and safe method of surgical treatment of recurrent pterygium, providing restoration of the corneal frame and optical properties and a high anti-relapse effect due to the barrier properties of the lamellar graft. However, potential postoperative changes in the regularity of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea (especially in case of advanced stage of fibrovascular tissue growth) do not always allow achieving high functional results of treatment. The article presents a clinical case that demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of excimer laser correction of refractive disorders after surgical treatment of pterygium.
