 Aims and Objectives: To compare the operating time, post–operative outcomes and visual outcomes of conjunctival autograft (CAG) using fibrin glue versus sutures, after surgical excision of primary nasal pterygium. Methods: Prospective randomized study of 40 eyes was done. Patients were divided in two groups:1) group 1(20 eyes)  underwent CAG with suture and 2) group 2(20 eyes) underwent CAG with fibrin glue (group 2). Patients were followed up on day 1, day 3, day10, week 3 and week 6. Results: The mean operating time was less in fibrin group. The post–operative outcomes were better in fibrin group but there was no statistical difference in visual acuity compared in both the groups. Conclusion: There was marked reduction in operating time in fibrin group and the post–operative outcomes was significantly less in fibrin group.
