Fig. 1

Anterior segment OCTA of four pterygia shows dilated and anomalous coiled vessels (asterisks) that differ from the smaller vessels of normal conjunctiva. Normal conjunctival vessels are less bright compared due to a slower blood flow, whereas the process of angiogenesis secondary to the para-inflammation of a pterygium increases the flow in the anomalous trunks. Scans a, b, d are obtained by setting the focus on + 28D, while scan c is obtained through an anterior segment lens. The corresponding b-scans highlight the segmentation problems secondary to the application of OCTA to the anterior segment
