Vascular characteristics and haemodynamics of severe and mild pterygium: a quantitative analysis
Pterygium demonstrates elevated ocular surface vascular density that correlates with disease severity. Changes in vascular morphology include vessel dilation and increased branching, with dilation most prominent in mild pterygium and branching in severe pterygium. These findings enhance the understanding of pterygium progression and may inform severity-based clinical management.
