Electrocautery/Laser/Radiofrequency Ablation of Eyelash Roots

How Electrocautery/Laser/Radiofrequency Ablation of Eyelash Roots is performed
This treatment is used for cases where trichiasis irritates the ocular surface. Electrocautery, laser, or radiofrequency ablation can be selected to ablate the hair follicles. Usually performed under surface or local anesthesia, with the aid of a microscope, a fine needle/fiber is used to precisely deliver energy to the hair follicles, treating them one by one or in sections, and confirming any remaining follicles. Postoperative care includes lubrication and cleaning, monitoring corneal epithelium and eyelash regrowth, with the goal of reducing ingrown eyelashes and friction. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific treatment should be based on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
