Image Comments:

In 1965, the Hyfrecator was a popular instrument for the treatment of skin and lid lesions. It has been replaced to a high degree by the laser. The surgical treatment of lid margin lesions carries the potential for disfiguring notching, lash loss, ectropion or entropion of the lid margin, and displacement or occlusion of the punctum lacrimalis.
