Abstract
This paper presents the results of treatment (172 patients, observatio n time up to 10 years) and shows that combined surgery using IR laser radiation at 1.06, 1.32, 1.54, 2.09, and 2.84 mu m is highly effective against malignant neoplasms of the external sections of the eye, with maximum implementation of conservative (organ-preserving) treatment.
