(A) Corneal astigmatism was reduced from 4.94 (5.23) diopter (D), 3.10 (3.13) D, and 3.94 (4.28) D to 0.84 (0.59) D, 1.21 (1.23) D, and 1.05 (0.99) D in the fibrin glue, suture, and total group, respectively, 1 month after pterygium surgery (p = 0.004, 0.008, and 0.000, Wilcoxon signed rank test). (B) Operation time was 27.71 (5.22) minutes in the fibrin glue group and 43.30 (8.18) minutes in the suture group, and the difference between these 2 values was statistically significant (p = 0.000, Mann-Whitney U-test). (C) In the fibrin glue group, 9 out of 22 eyes showed moderate to severe conjunctival inflammation, whereas in the suture group, all 30 eyes showed moderate to severe inflammation at 1 week after pterygium surgery (p = 0.000, chi-square test).
