The "corncrib" repair of senile entropion

A new method of senile entropion repair has been described. The method corrects the entropion by affecting those conditions which create an entropion: enophthalmos, lid laxity, preseptal orbicularis movement, and retractor weakness. A 3.4% recurrence rate in 58 lids followed an average 17 months was found. This procedure is simple and applicable to all senile entropion patients.
