Optical Analysis and Reappraisal of the Peripheral Light Focusing Theory of Nasal Pterygia Formation

PURPOSE: Pterygia are much more common nasally than temporally. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major risk factor. Coroneo proposed that the nasal preference is caused by the “peripheral light focusing effect,” (PLF), in which UV at an oblique angle passes through temporal cornea and is concentrated...
