A prospective randomized case-control study conducted at a tertiary level eye care center to compare the outcomes of conjunctival autograft (CAG) with fibrin glue and CAG with patients' own blood acting as a bioadhesive in treating pterygium after surgical excision.Twenty eyes of 20 patients with pterygium were randomly divided into 2 groups: group I (10 eyes) underwent CAG with fibrin glue and group II (10 eyes) underwent CAG with the patients' own blood coagulum acting as a bioadhesive or fixative.The time required for the surgery was compared. The patients were then closely followed up for a period of 12 months for anatomy, outcomes of graft, recurrence rate, graft displacement, retraction, inflammatory reaction, if any, graft failure, or any other complications. The duration of surgery was less in group I (mean duration, 14.74 ± 2.35 minutes) than group II (mean duration, 17.45 ± 2.89 minutes). We found that although the rate of recurrences was equal in grafts with the glue (10
