Abstract
- We applied the cryosurgical technique to treat 10 selected patients with trichiasis. AmoHs retinal probe (CO2) was applied on the lids with temperature of -40 degrees C - -50 degrees C for 30 seconds using the double, rapid-freeze, slow-thaw technique. We observed recurrent trichiasis in a case, but retreatment by double freeze-thaw cycle was successful.
