    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Trichiasis, an inward turning of eyelashes, causes significant ocular discomfort and potential corneal damage.
    • Current surgical management options for trichiasis can be complex or associated with complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simple and effective surgical technique for lash excision in the management of trichiasis.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique in a patient cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • A straightforward lash excision technique was employed for surgical management.
    • The procedure was performed on 13 patients diagnosed with trichiasis.

    Main Results:

    • Complete symptom relief was achieved in 11 out of 13 patients.
