AIM OF STUDY
• This study intends to reveal the best operating protocol for managing the primary pterygiumand the recidives in order to obtain rapid healing, transparent corneas and no recidives.

MATHERIAL, METHOD
• We studied 39 cases of pterygiums operated using different methods, according to the clinic form. In all cases we applied a therapeutic contact lens after the removal of the pterygium. In large pterygiums and in recidiveswe also did an amniotic membrane transplant.

RESULTS, DISCUSSIONS
• The evolution was encouraging in all cases. The healing of the corneal wound was rapid with minimum pain. The aspect of the cornea was satisfying. We had only one recidive.
• We present several sugestive cases.

CONCLUSIONS• Using therapeutic contact lenses in the pterygium surgery
(eventually combined with amniotic membrane transplant in certain cases) is a promising option in the management of this unpleasant corneal disease.
