What is DMEK surgery and why it is needed?
What is Pterygium?
A Pterygium is a growth of the conjunctiva or mucous membrane that covers the white part of your eye over the cornea. The cornea is the clear front covering of the eye. This benign or noncancerous growth is often shaped like a wedge. A pterygium usually doesn’t cause problems or require treatment, but it can be removed if it interferes with your vision.
What are the symptoms of Pterygium?
A pterygium doesn’t always cause symptoms. When it does, the symptoms are usually mild. Common symptoms include redness, blurred vision, and eye irritation. You might also feel a burning sensation or itchiness. If a pterygium grows large enough to cover your cornea, it can interfere with your vision. Thick or larger pterygium can also cause you to feel like you have a foreign object in your eye. You might not be able to continue wearing contact lenses when you have a pterygium due to discomfort.
What is Conjunctival Autografting?
Conjunctival limbal autograft (hereafter referred to as “conjunctival autograft”) involves removing limbal tissue and adjacent conjunctiva in one piece from another part of the person’s eye and using the tissue to cover the area from which the pterygium was excised.
Conjunctival autograft transplantation is a form of ocular surface transplantation in which an autologous free conjunctival graft is obtained from the superior bulbar conjunctiva and sutured to the scleral bed. Conjunctival autografting is now extensively employed in pterygium surgery, in which the conjunctival graft is most often obtained from the same eye, but may be obtained from the opposite eye if previous surgery or scarring is present in the affected eye.
This procedure is considered by many to set the standard in the surgical treatment of pterygium today, since the procedure can provide excellent cosmesis, is safe, and has been reported to have a low rate of recurrence. However, poor surgical technique resulting from a lack of understanding of basic surgical principles may result in a poor outcome and higher rates of recurrence. This chapter outlines the history and development of conjunctival autograft transplantation and the important surgical
principles that allow for consistently successful surgery.

What causes Pterygium?
The exact cause of pterygium isn’t known. One explanation is that too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can lead to these growths. It occurs more often in people who live in warm climates and spend a lot of time outdoors in sunny or windy environments. People whose eyes are exposed to certain elements on a regular basis have a higher risk of developing this condition. These elements include:
Pollen
Sand
Smoke
Wind
