1Oculoplastics Service, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, England.
Abstract:
A series of 43 patients with congenital lower eyelid malposition and trichiasis (epiblepharon and entropion) is presented with clinical findings, family history, approach to management and results of treatment. The average age of patients was 9.3 years. A family history was present in 21%, and 30% had at least one parent of Oriental extraction. Thirty-nine patients underwent surgery for persistent symptoms due to chronic eyelash-globe contact. The surgical procedures performed were a modified Hotz procedure, Quickert sutures, and Jones-type retractor plication. Surgery was effective in at least 90% of all procedures.
