The prime challenge of pterygium surgery is prevention of recurrence. Conjunctival autografting after pterygium excision is associated with lower recurrence rates (2%�9%) and relatively few sight-threatening complications. The use of suture materials requires a high degree of surgical skill and is associated with several disadvantages, including prolonged operating time, postoperative discomfort, and potential for suture-related complication. Tissue adhesives are alternative means for attaching conjunctival grafts and may shorten operating time, improve postoperative comfort, and avoid suture-related complications. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical results using fibrin glue versus PGA 10-0 suture for attaching conjunctival autograft after pterygium excision with MMC application. There were 36 eye undergoing primary pterygium surgery with conjunctival autograft were allocated into 2 group
