It has enabled a suture-free technique, reducing surgical time and postoperative pain.1 However, the adhesive’s components form a fibrin clot 10 seconds after mixing, and in this time, the surgeon must complete glue application, grabbing of the instruments and adequate placement of the conjunctival patch. This easy and new technique explains how separate application of glue components on the receiving site and cornea with subsequent sliding of graft results in even mixing of the components on site. It enables the surgeon to spend all 10 seconds in adjusting the position of the conjunctival autograft, resulting in an easier and more precise surgery.Keywords: fibrin glue, pterygium surgery, conjunctival graftTappin MJSánchez-Tabernero SSabatino FDove Medical Pressarticlefibrin gluepterygium surgeryOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 13, Pp 25-26 (2018)
