Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Surgical Techniques

Background:

Involutional lower lid entropion is a common condition, often associated with horizontal lid laxity.
Surgical correction is necessary to prevent ocular surface damage and improve patient comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified operative technique for involutional lower lid entropion.
To assess the long-term outcomes and complication rates of the modified procedure.

Main Methods:

A prospective, noncomparative study involving 101 lower eyelids of 88 patients with moderate to severe horizontal lid laxity.
The modified technique combines elements of the Quickert and Jones procedures.
Follow-up included clinical assessments and long-term telephone interviews.

Main Results:

The modified surgical technique demonstrated an overall effectiveness of 89.11% in correcting involutional lower lid entropion.
Early postoperative complications were scarce, primarily localized lid swelling, which resolved spontaneously.
Recurrence of entropion occurred in 10.89% of eyelids, with some requiring further intervention.

Conclusions:

The modified operative technique for involutional lower lid entropion is effective and safe, with a high success rate.
The procedure is well-tolerated, and complications are infrequent, making it a viable surgical option.
