R. Ghabrial et Ic. Francis, ARGON AND DIODE-LASER TREATMENT OF BENIGN EYELID LESIONS, Australian and New Zealand journal of ophthalmology, 22(1), 1994, pp. 45-48
This study reports the experience of 14 patients (15 lesions) treated
with the argon or diode laser for small, benign eyelid conditions. The
technique is suitable for use by ophthalmic surgeons because the lesi
ons are localised, the surgery can be performed precisely to maintain
adequate lid function and cosmesis, and both the argon and diode laser
viewing systems and delivery systems provide excellent control for th
e surgery. There were no complications from the laser surgery, and the
surgical aims of lesion clearance, good cosmesis and function were fu
lfilled in all patients. The advantages in lid surgery of the diode an
d argon lasers over the carbon dioxide laser are highlighted.
