Risk Factors for Poor Quality of Life among Patients with Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

abstract：:Cosmetic eyelid surgery has benefited from the use of the carbon dioxide laser. The short pulsed laser cuts through tissue with limited surrounding thermal damage, resulting in incisions that heal with minimal scarring comparable to traditional cold steel methods. The laser provides excellent hemostasis, which shorten...
