No randomized controlled trials were found for involutional entropion treatments. Further research is needed to compare the effectiveness of different interventions for this common eyelid condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oculoplastics
  • Geriatric Medicine

Background:

  • Involutional entropion, a common lower eyelid malposition in the elderly, involves the eyelid margin turning inward against the eyeball.
  • Current treatments are primarily surgical, with non-surgical options for early stages, but their comparative effectiveness is unresolved.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review interventions for involutional entropion.
  • To determine if any treatment method demonstrates superior efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive search of multiple databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, mRCT) and grey literature.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on randomized controlled trials comparing treatments for involutional lower lid entropion in individuals over 60.

Main Results:

  • No studies met the inclusion criteria for randomized controlled trials.
  • Consequently, no data were collected, and no meta-analysis could be performed.

Conclusions:

  • The effectiveness of interventions for involutional lower lid entropion remains undetermined due to a lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials.
  • Retrospective studies suggest varying recurrence rates among treatments, highlighting the urgent need for rigorous comparative trials.
