Laser therapy of conjunctival papillomas.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser therapy was successfully used in the treatment of recurrent conjunctival papillomas in a 40-year-old man. Surgical excision, cryotherapy and immunotherapy with transfer factor and dinitrochlorobenzene had all been unsuccessful in eradicating the lesions. CO2 laser therapy should be considered as an alternative treatment for conjunctival papillomas refractory to other forms of therapy.
