Abstract

The author had published the first report of the above subject in May, 1964. The mode of operation was detailly explained, and the discussion was given briefly at last report. The conclusion are as follows. 1. Pterygium is a benign condition in itself. so that it's operation is very simple and easy. 2. The operated eye became good cosmetic result, and became occasionally clearer than the sound eye through this operation. 3. Regardless of primary or recurrent one, or the size, similarly good result was obtained to after pterygiam operation. As Pinguecula is seemed to be very close to pterygium, Also good results was obtained through same operative procedures as pterygium. 4. Scarcely recurrency was found if one do not make a fault in this operation.
