Tear Film Instability and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Correlate with the Pterygium Size and Thickness Pre- and Postexcision in Patients with Pterygium

<div>Correlations between pterygium size and thickness and various clinical indicators pre-excision in the pterygium patients: (a) Pterygium size; (b) Pterygium thickness (<i>R</i>, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, −1 ≤ <i>R</i> ≤ 1). A <i>p</i> value &lt;0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.</div>
