The authors describe a therapeutic method using spray freezing in the treatment of malignant tumours of the eyelids and conjunctivae, trichiasis and distichiasis and forms of conjunctivitis vernalis which cannot be checked by drugs. The authors discuss the results assembled in a large group of patients during 1971-1987 (4,084 patients). The results provide convincing evidence that the method is successful in these indications and that it has preference before contact freezing. Treatment of all patients was implemented using the Dresden cryotherapeutic apparatus IKG 3.
