Argon laser and trichiasis

Argon Laser: A Modality of Treatment for Trichiasis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the success rate and safety of argon laser photocoagulation as a modality of treatment for symptomatic trichiasis in a Middle Eastern country (Jordan). This simple descriptive study included 54 patients (68 lids) with symptomatic trichiasis. They were treated with argon laser and followed over 8 month period. After topical and infiltration anaesthesia, 3...

Argon laser iridotomy.

Argon laser iridotomy was successfully performed on 47 out of 52 eyes of 35 patients by the continuous wave argon laser. The technique of argon laser iridotomy is described in detail. A number of complications were observed. The reasons for these are discussed, and measures for the avoidance of complications are suggested.

Binocular indirect argon laser photocoagulator.

The binocular indirect argon laser photocoagulator was newly designed to enable visualisation of the entire fundus during panretinal laser photocoagulation and to treat retinal tears immediately after buckling procedures of the sclera. The lamp housing of the binocular ophthalmoscope was remodelled and adjusted so that the laser beam and illuminating light are coaxial after leaving the ophthalm...

Corneal neovascularization treated with argon laser PAUL

Corneal neovascularization can be troublesome, especially in an eye which is to have a corneal graft. A corneal transplant is more likely to be rejected in a vascularized than a non-vascularized cornea. In this and many other clinical situations, therefore, it is desirable that corneal new vessels be obliterated. Many treatments have been suggested, including corticosteroids, irradiation, thiot...
