Description
Mi Xu and co-authors watch the eye surface heal after growth removal surgery in 2024. A pterygium is a fleshy growth creeping over the eye, and cutting it out plus grafting the patient's own tissue is a standard repair. How cells and nerves recover at both the graft and donor sites was unmapped.
Seventeen treated eyes were scanned with a live confocal microscope six months after surgery. Cell density at the graft site still ran below matched healthy eyes. Some deeper corneal layers were also checked around both sites. The imaging gives a cell-level baseline for judging recovery after this repair.
