Purpose:
To observe the role of senile enophthalmos in involutional entropion.
Methods:
Prospective clinical study comparing a population of 30 white patients above 65 years with involutional entropion (Group I) of an age- and race-matched control group (Group II). All age and exophthalmometric values were analyzed by a statistical study.
Results:
The average age was 77.7 years in Group I and 75.7 years in Group II. Eyes with involutional entropion are no more likely to have enophthalmos (15.22 mm) than is the involved contralateral eye (15.11 mm) or normal eyes of an age- and race-matched control group (15.13 mm).
Conclusion:
There is no correlation between involutional entropion and senile enophthalmos.
