The study was conducted in District Hospital Baramulla from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2016. It was a post-operative interventional study. In this study, 100 eyes of 100 patients with primary nasal pterygium were operated, 65 males and 35 females.

Follow-up period was 6 months. Recurrence occurred in 1 patient (1%), other complications include conjunctival chemosis in 11 (11%) patients, partial graft displacement in 2 (2%) patients, graft retraction from nasal side 3 (3%) patients, total graft displacement in 1 (1%) patient, overriding of graft on cornea (2%) patients, and granuloma in donor site in 1 (1%) patient.
