title: Argon laser treatment of periocular lesions: an experimental study.
abstract: Argon laser photocoagulation is a promising alternative in the treatment of vascular lesions of the lid and periocular tissues. Experimental argon laser treatment of feline ocular and oral mucosa was undertaken to identify a protective shield that was satisfactory in preventing ocular damage and to identify a power that would be effective but avoid significant side effects.
