Abstract
PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Argon laser photocoagulation in patients with conjunctival nevus. METHODS: Twenty-seven patients (27 eyes) who were clinically diagnosed with conjunctival nevus from January to September 2003 were included in this study. The conjunctival nevus was eliminated by Argon laser after topical anesthesia with proparacaine. The power density varied between 200 and 400 mW and the spot size ranged from 100 to 300 microgram. The duration of argon laser was 0.15~0.2 sec. The spot count was varied according to the size and degree of pigment density of conjunctival nevus. The mean follow-up period was 7.0 months. RESULTS: The wounds after Argon laser treatment were completely healed within 1 week. Twenty-three eyes were treated completely with only one laser treatment but 4 needed an additional laser treatment for more satisfactory cosmetic results. There were no postoperative complications such as infections, conjunctival degeneration or recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Argon laser treatment for conjunctival nevus has benefits such as no intraoperative hemorrhage, low recurrence rate, easier method and good cosmetic results.
