Özet: Background: Pterygium is a pink fleshy sub conjunctival growth that covers the white part of your eye over the cornea. Aim: To Compare the Autologous Blood versus Conventional Conjunctival Autograft Surgery for Pterygium. Materials and method: 30 patients attending Ophthalmology OPD with primary pterygium were randomised into two groups of 15 patients in each group by a simple randomisation technique. Patients were divided in two groups and undergone pterygium excision followed by conjunctival autografting either by patient’s own blood (group A) or by suture (group B).Results: males were more affected by pterygium as compared to females. The mean age of the patient in group A was 43.6 and in group B was 46.86. The duration of surgery in group A was 21.33 min and in group B was 35.5 min. No recurrence was observed at day 90 in both groups.Conclusion: Conjunctival autografting by patient's own blood is better than suture.
