Abstract
Pterygium is known to cause corneal topographic changes that can resul t in decreased visual acuity. We present a case of recurrent pterygium causing blurred vision and diplopia, and document the corneal topogra phic changes, showing astigmatism of 15 diopters induced by lateral ga ze, prior to surgical excision.
