This paper presents the application of argon laser in the treatment
of trichiasis. The technique involves the destruction of the follicles
of the abnormal cilia. A beam of 50- to 200-micron spot size,
0.1- to 0.2 second time, and 1,000 to 1,200 mW power is used under
local anesthesia. This method proved safe, convenient, precise,
and effective in 11 cases. The technique is most suitable when
a few fine cilia are involved, but repeated treatment may be required
for more and thicker eyelashes. The follow-up period in this study
varied from a minimum of four months to a maximum of nine months.
