  • Title: Surgery for involutional entropion.
    Author: Jackson ST.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1983 Apr; 14(4):322-6. PubMed ID: 6346197.
    Abstract:
    Surgery for involutional entropion must correct horizontal eyelid laxity, vertical laxity, and overriding of the tarsus by the infra-tarsal tissues. The surgery should give lasting functional and pleasing cosmetic results. These goals are achieved with: 1) a blepharoplasty incision and reflection of a skin-muscle flap; 2) excision of a wedge of eyelid tissue at the lateral canthus; 3) barrier sutures or tuck of the retractors; 4) reattachment of the lid to the lateral orbital rim; and 5) excision of excess skin.
