    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Cryosurgery is a common treatment for various eyelid conditions.
    • Understanding its efficacy and complication profile is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes and complications of eyelid cryosurgery.
    • To identify risk factors associated with adverse events.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 70 patients undergoing eyelid cryosurgery over two years.
    • Analysis of complications in 58 patients with adequate follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • Successful elimination of misdirected lashes in 90% of treated lids.
    • Approximately 25% of patients experienced complications, including visual loss, lid notching, and corneal ulcers.

  • Higher complication rates (over 66%) observed in patients with conjunctival shrinkage or grafted/irradiated lids.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cryosurgery is highly effective for aberrant lashes and benign lid lesions.
    • Awareness of potential complications, particularly in vulnerable patient groups, is essential for safe application.
