Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Detailed systemic and ophthalmic history of the participants were obtained and all subjects were underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination. Complete blood count analysis was carried out for the pterygium patients and healthy control subjects. Blood analysis was carried out a week before the excision surgery for pterygium patients. Neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte and platelet counts, and mean platelet volume measurements was performed within 2 hours after collection of blood samples with an automatic analyzer. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio , monocyte to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio were calculated by dividing the neutrophil count by lymphocyte count, monocytes count by lymphocyte count and platelet count by lymphocyte count respectively.The pterygium patients classified into 3 subgroups as atrophic, fleshy and intermediate according to Tan’s classification. All the obtained parameters were compared between the groups and among the subgroups statistically.

Statistical methods / analysis
The normal distribution assumption was tested with Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. The statistical methods evaluating the data were the chi-square, independent t test and Spearman’s Rho correlation test. The overall accuracy was determined by the area under the curve, sensitivity and specificity using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. In all tests, a p value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Summary
Brief summary
We aimed to evaluate mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), which are complete blood counts parameters, in patients with pterygium and to compare with age-sex matched healthy subjects. Blood analysis was performed a week before the pterygium ('surfer's eye') excision.
