    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Anatomical Studies
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • The characteristic configuration of normal Inuit (Eskimo) eyelids is described.
    • Exaggeration of normal lower eyelid features can lead to epiblepharon inferior.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the clinical features of epiblepharon inferior in Inuit patients.
    • To describe an evolved surgical technique for treating epiblepharon inferior.
    • To emphasize the distinction between epiblepharon and entropion due to different surgical treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation of seven Inuit patients with epiblepharon inferior requiring surgery.
    • Description of the surgical technique employed.
    • Comparison with entropion treatment.

    Main Results:

    • Seven Inuit patients with epiblepharon inferior underwent successful surgical intervention.
    • The evolved surgical technique provided good outcomes.
    • Distinguishing epiblepharon from entropion is crucial for appropriate surgical management.

    Conclusions:

    • Epiblepharon inferior requiring surgical intervention appears prevalent in Inuit populations.
    • A specific surgical approach, potentially including orbicularis muscle and skin excision, is effective.
    • Accurate diagnosis differentiating epiblepharon from entropion is essential for successful treatment.
