title: Prospective evaluation of the argon laser in the treatment of trichiasis.
abstract: We report the results of argon-laser treatment in 60 consecutive eyelids with focal, symptomatic trichiasis. Permanence of eyelash destruction compared favorably with that reported for cryosurgery; complications were limited to minimal contour abnormalities and hypopigmentation.
