Initially, its handling is done with lubricating drops. Its surgical indication may be for various reasons, persistent symptoms despite treatment, induction of corneal astigmatism making vision difficult, restriction of eye movements, or for aesthetic appearance.

This is an outpatient surgery, performed with topical anesthesia, which offers a high success rate and low possibility of recurrence.
