Abstract
Many benign eyelid and some conjunctival lesions are amenable for treatment. One excellent surgical alternative is cryosurgery thanks to its versatility, low cost, and excellent cosmetic results. With proper training and knowledge of the area, some common conditions that are cosmetically and functionally disturbing can be eliminated very fast and in a safe office-based setting.
