    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oculoplastic Surgery

    Background:

    • Involutional entropion involves horizontal and vertical eyelid laxity, leading to tarsal overriding.
    • Effective surgical correction requires addressing these laxities for functional and aesthetic outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a surgical technique for correcting involutional entropion.
    • To achieve lasting functional and cosmetic improvements in patients with involutional entropion.

    Main Methods:

    • A surgical approach involving a blepharoplasty incision and skin-muscle flap.
    • Lateral canthus wedge excision and retractor plication (barrier sutures or tuck).
    • Lid reattachment to the lateral orbital rim and excess skin excision.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The described surgical method corrects horizontal and vertical eyelid laxity.
    • It addresses the overriding of tarsal tissues by infra-tarsal structures.
    • The technique aims for enduring functional restoration and aesthetic enhancement.

    Conclusions:

    • This surgical strategy effectively corrects involutional entropion by addressing key biomechanical factors.
    • The procedure yields satisfactory functional and cosmetic results for patients.
