The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contribution of ultraviolet light (UV) as a causal factor of primary and pterygium recurrence. A conjuctival autograft transplantation was a surgical method of pterygium treatment. In the first group (38 eyes) were patients with primary and recurrent pterygium exposed to sun (worked outdoors), evaluating geodemographic status, and in the second group (20 eyes) were patients who were not. During 6-12 months of follow up recurrence rate after surgical removal was 27% in the first group and 10% in the second one. UV light seems to have an important role in cause of primary and recurrent pterygium.
本研究的目的是评估紫外线（UV）作为原发性和翼状胬肉复发的致病因素的作用。结膜自体移植是一种翼状胬肉的手术治疗方法。第一组（38只眼）是原发性和复发性翼状胬肉且暴露于阳光下（户外工作）的患者，评估其地理人口统计学状况，第二组（20只眼）是未暴露于阳光下的患者。在6至12个月的随访期间，手术切除后的复发率在第一组为27%，在第二组为10%。紫外线似乎在原发性和复发性翼状胬肉的病因中起重要作用。
