Corneal tattooing combined with pterygium/pseudopterygium surgery can be performed in a single sitting with this novel technique in eyes with no visual potential. This is particularly suitable for eyes with limbal stem cell deficiency or large pterygia/pseudopterygia where conjunctival autograft is not advisable. These patients are often apprehensive for an allograft from their only seeing other eye.
