title: Conjunctival autograft as treatment for anterior displacement and scarring of the plica semilunaris after strabismus surgery.
abstract: Medial conjunctival scarring and displacement of the plica toward the limbus is a rare but well-described complication of strabismus surgery, especially after multiple procedures. We report the case of a patient with this complication, treated successfully with excision and conjunctival autotransplantation. This technique has been broadly described in pterygium surgery but has not to our knowledge previously been reported in this context.
