[Current status of treatment of pterygium].
After reviewing the various etio-pathogenic hypotheses for pterygium in which the discontinuity of the lacrymal film at the corneo-limbic junction appears to play an essential role, the authors discuss the current therapeutic choices. The value and place of lamellar keratoplasty overlapping the limbus are discussed.
