Topical Cyclosporine a Administration after Pterygium Surgery

Abstract

The results suggest that tCsA (Restasis, Allergan) can be used safely and effectively after pterygium surgery to obtain lower rates of recurrence.

New treatment options for pterygium

“…This is consistent to some extent with findings of a beneficial effect of topical cyclosporine in reducing recurrence [23].…”

Comparison among adjuvant treatments for primary pterygium: a network meta-analysis

“…Tok et al , with almost twice as many patients, identified lower recurrence rates when ciclosporin was used: 12.9%. When ciclosporin is associated with conjunctival autograft it can decrease recurrence rates even more, as we can see in Aydin et al (3.4%) and Ozulkem56 (7.7%).…”

Role of Pre And Postoperative Topical Cyclosporine (0.05%) on Recurrence in Recurrent And Vascularised Pterygium

“…We observed [19]. Tok et al used cyclosporine following primary excision in primary pterygium cases, and observed the recurrence of 12.9% [13], Aydin et al who used topical cyclosporine with conjunctival limbal autograft observed a recurrence of 3.4% [20] and Ozulken K et al observed a recurrence of 7.7% with cyclosporine [21].…”
