Abstract:
Involutional entropion is an inturning of the eyelid margin caused by changes of lid tissues due to aging. Two patients with the uncommon finding of involutional entropion of the upper lid were treated with surgery based on the principles used to treat common lower lid entropion. The causes of lower lid entropion include increased horizontal and vertical lid laxity, and correcting these same factors in the upper lid resulted in a satisfactory repair of the entropion. Treatment of involutional entropion in the upper lid is compared and contrasted with that of the lower lid.
