TRICHIASIS - LONG-TERM RESULTS

Περίληψη:
We describe our technique and analyze the long-term results of the use
of argon laser photocoagulation in the treatment of 92 eyes with
recurrent trichiasis. In spite of an incidence of recurrences of 64.1%
which had to undergo a new laser photocoagulation session, the final
success rate of the method was impressive (91.3%). The number of
misdirected cilia per lid seems to constitute an important factor which
affects both the rate of recurrences and the success rate of the
procedure.
