An operation for entropion and trichiasis. A composite of methods for lid margin rotation.

An operation for entropion/trichiasis is presented which is applicable to both upper and lower lids, and for grades of distortion from mild to severe. It is suitable for gross trachomatous lid disease in Aboriginal patients, and also for the discomfort of chronic cicatricial trichiasis in aged Caucasians. No new procedure is proposed. The method combines features of several well tried operations to free the inturned lid margin and resuture it in proper apposition.
