Eyelid surgery is not always uneventful. Complications (punctal ectropion, retractile scars) can sometimes occur. Argon laser treatment is an interesting alternative technique, particularly in cases with cosmetic indications. The advantages of the procedure, compared to surgery are numerous: magnified view of tissue removal, enhancing complete excision; good hemostasis, avoiding wound sutures and bandage; fast and painless technique; outpatient office procedure with little post-operative care; good acceptance of the technique by most of the patients. The technique and the main indications are described in this paper.
