“…In addition to this factor, advanced age, male gender, low education level, high systolic blood pressure, living in rural areas and dry eye have also been associated with increased pterygium incidence. 3,8,9,10 In the current study, 75% of the patients were male, the nature of their occupations indicated low education level.…”

“…Previous studies have also shown higher incidence and increased severity of pterygium in agricultural workers and farmers. 10 Threlfall and English4 demonstrated a strong association between sun exposure and pterygium. They concluded that sun exposure should be avoided as much as possible and emphasized that all ages should use hats or sunglasses for eye protection.…”

Objectives:To analyze demographic and ophthalmologic characteristics of patients with double-headed pterygium in the Mediterranean region of Turkey and to evaluate their surgical outcomes.Materials and Methods:Records of all patients who underwent surgery for pterygium in Antalya Atatürk State Hospital between November 2012 and March 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with pterygia on both sides of the cornea (nasal and temporal) were included in the study. Patients with less than six months of follow-up were excluded. Age, occupation and smoking status of patients, recurrence of pterygium and any existing complications in records were evaluated. Fibrovascular proliferation more than 0.5 mm over the cornea was accepted as recurrence.Results:Eight (5%) of 158 patients who underwent pterygium surgery were diagnosed with double-headed pterygium. Six (75%) of the patients were male and two (25%) were female. Mean age was 42.63 (26-71) years. It was recorded that all patients had worked under the sun for at least 5 hours a day. No intra-operative or post-operative complications were found. Mean follow-up time after surgery was 12 (6-21) months and no recurrence was detected.Conclusion:Pterygium, especially double-headed pterygium is mostly seen in warm climates and individuals who work outdoors. Dividing the free conjunctival autograft into two and suturing in place of the excised pterygium on both sides of the cornea is a good choice in these patients.

Amaç: Van Bölgesinde pterjiumdaki olası risk faktörleri ve koruyucu faktörleri değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Pterjium hastalarının demografik bilgileri, meslekleri, eğitim durumları, sigara kullanımları, tandır ekmeği yapıp yapmadıkları, güneş gözlüğü ve şapka kullanım alışkanlıkları sorgulandı ve pterjium evrelemesi yapıldı. Eğitim durumu, çalışma koşulları, sigara kullanımı, şapka-güneş gözlüğü kullanımı ve tandır ekmeği yapıp yapmadıkları ile pterjium evresi arasındaki ilişki değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan toplam 48 hastadan 30 hasta erkek (%62,5), 18 hasta ise kadındı (%37,5). Hastaların ortalama yaşları 42,8 ±12,9 yıldı. Hastaların 29'u (%60,4) kapalı ortamda 19'u (%39,6) ise açık ortamda çalışıyordu. Eğitim durumuna göre 12 hasta okuma-yazma bilmeyen (%25), 16 hasta ilkokul mezunu (%33,3), 9 hasta ortaokul mezunu (%18,8), 8 hasta lise mezunu (%16,7), 3 hasta (%6,3) ise üniversite ve üzeri eğitim düzeyine sahipti. Diğer olası etiyolojik faktörler değerlendirildiğinde 10 hasta (%20,8) tandır ekmeği yaparken, 16 hasta sigara içiyordu (%33,3), sadece 5 hasta (%10,4) güneş gözlüğü kullanıyordu, 13 hasta (%37,1) ise şapka kullanıyordu. Hastaların pterjium evrelerine göre sigara kullanımı, tandır ekmeği yapımı, şapka kullanımı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmezken dış mekanda çalışma ile hastalık evresi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Pterjiumda sigara kullanımı, tandır ekmeği yapımı, güneş gözlüğü ve şapka kullanımı gibi faktörlerin risk faktörü veya koruyucu faktörler olabilir ancak hastalığın prognozu ile ilişkili olmayabilir.
