Sutureless Glueless Conjunctival Autograft for Primary Pterygium Surgery [PDF]
Al-Azhar International Medical Journal, 2020 Pterygium occurs predominantly on the nasal limbus, although temporal pterygium rarely occurs in isolation. Double-head pterygium, that is nasal and temporal pterygia in the same eye is rare. In studies by Dolezalová, the incidence was found to be (2.5%).
