Argon Laser Photoablation for Treating Benign Pigmented Conjunctival Nevi.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the outcomes of argon laser photoablation of benign conjunctival pigmented nevi with different clinical presentations.

Patients and methods

This interventional case series was conducted between July 2014 and January 2015. Patients presenting with benign conjunctival nevi were included. Data were collected on the clinical features at presentation, argon laser photoablation, and follow-up at 8 and 24 weeks. Postoperative photography allowed recording of the success of each case and the overall success rate. Complete removal of conjunctival pigments was considered an absolute success.

Results

There were 14 eyes (four right eyes and ten left eyes) with benign pigm
