Abstract
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 lesions 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 the surgery. There were no complications from the laser surgery, and the surgical aims of lesion clearance, good cosmesis and function were fulfilled in all patients. The advantages in lid surgery of the diode and argon lasers over the carbon dioxide laser are highlighted.
