Aim of the Study: Evaluation of sutureless glueless conjunctival autograft in pterygium surgery. Patients and Methods:This study is a prospective, non-comparative, interventional study included 30 eyes having pterygia requiring surgical excision. The study was carried out at the department of ophthalmology at Minia university hospital from January 2018 to October 2018. All cases had been operated with conjunctival autografts taken from superior bulbar conjunctiva. Grafts were fixed using patients own blood clot as tissue adhesive which oozed in the bare sclera after pterygium excision. The patients were followed up post operatively after 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks,3 months and 6 months. Results: After 6 months follow up, neither symblepharon formation nor motility restriction or pyogenic granuloma were reported. Only one case of recurrence was reported. Conclusion: Sutureless andglueless conjunctival limbal autograft following pterygium excision is safe, easy, effective and economic technique in both primary and recurrent pterygium surgery.

Purpose: To describe visual and refractive outcomes of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) and toric implantable collamer lenses (TICL) implantation in cases of mild and moderate keratoconus. Methods: A prospective descriptive interventional case series. 40 eyes were allocated into two groups. First group (20 eyes) was treated with corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) 1 month after ICRS implantation and the second group was treated using TICL after 1 year of CXL. Results: Both groups showed statistically significant improvement in spherical equivalent, cylindrical refraction, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) over the follow-up period. Conclusion: Both ICRS and TICL are effective in treatment of mid and moderate keratoconus with more predictable visual results with TICL.
