Argon Laser Therapy of Benign Tumors of the Eyelid

Super pulse CO2 laser therapy for benign eyelid tumors

“…Traditional surgical excision is the most well‐known method for treating these tumors. However, several laser types, such as CO 2 lasers, erbium‐YAG lasers, argon lasers, and diode lasers, have been used for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes . When compared to other lasers, the CO 2 laser exhibits more thermal necrosis and slower wound healing.…”

“…In ophthalmology, argon lasers are routinely used for iridotomy closure, 4 open-angle glaucoma trabeculoplasty, 5,6 benign eyelid tumor treatment, 7 and retinal tear photocoagulation. 8 Argon lasers play an essential role in epistaxis management secondary to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis, 9 otologic surgery, 10 and lung tissue contraction therapy.…”

Modified argon laser therapy for benign tumor of the eyelid

“…Our laser technique is different from the traditional technique by using lower laser power and increasing the absorption rate of laser energy with a marker. Wohrlab et al [ 10 ] used laser power from 410 to 6100 mW; Schellini et al [ 5 ] used the laser with 500 μm spot sizes and a laser power between 1000 and 1200 mW. Higher laser energies (> 1000 mW) with larger spot sizes (> 500 μm), however, may cause retractions in the normal adjacent skin and may result in scar formation [ 4 ].…”
