Analysis of the Effect of Preoperative Eye Position Fixation Training in Patients With Pterygium: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study evaluated the effect of preoperative ocular fixation training on patients undergoing pterygium surgery. Before pterygium excision, patients were trained to perform eye position fixation training, which is beneficial for surgeons performing microsurgery. The study analysed the effectiveness of preoperative eye position fixation training in patients with pterygium by randomised controlled experimental design. The number of occurrences of self-turning, operation time, self-rating depression scale scores and self-rating anxiety scale scores of the experimental group (EG) were lower than those of the control group (CG). The recurrence rate and the incidence of conjunctival tear and conjunctival suture loosening in the EG were significantly lower than those in the CG. The use of eye fixation training prior to pterygium surgery can facilitate the activities of the surgeon, reduce the operation time, reduce the occurrence of complications and reduce the recurrence rate after the operation. Eye fixation training is worthy of application in patients with pterygium.
