Popis:	PURPOSE: To study the effectivity of free conjunctival autograft versus autologous stem cell transfer in primary pterygium in terms of change in astigmatism, recurrence rate and cosmetic appearance. METHODS: The study was conducted at K.R.HOSPITAL from Jan 2012 to June 2012. 100 patients were selected of which 50 patients between age group of 26-58 years underwent pterygium excision with free conjunctival autograft surgery and the remaining age matched group underwent pterygium excision with autologous stem cell transfer. The patients were followed up for a period of 6months. RESULTS: The results were tabulated and analyzed in terms of change in astigmatism and recurrence rate. CONCLUSION: The results showed that free conjunctival autografts were equally effective when compared to autologous stem cell transfer in primary pterygium.
