    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Technology

    Background:

    • Recurrent trichiasis presents a persistent challenge in ocular health.
    • Effective treatment options for diseased eyelid follicles are crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of argon laser photocoagulation for treating recurrent trichiasis.
    • To assess the long-term outcomes of this therapeutic approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Argon laser photocoagulation was employed to target and cauterize diseased follicles within the eyelid.
    • The laser's precise light delivery system was utilized for follicular ablation.

    Main Results:

    • Eight cases of recurrent trichiasis were treated using this method.
    • Follow-up exceeding six months demonstrated satisfactory clinical outcomes in all treated patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Argon laser photocoagulation offers a viable and effective treatment for recurrent trichiasis.
    • The procedure appears to provide durable results, addressing the underlying follicular pathology.
