“…Children with epiblepharon commonly improve as the midface grows during childhood. 5 To our knowledge this is the first reported case of acquired lateral upper lid entropion in a child treated with Botulinum toxin. We suggest that this treatment could be used in children with entropion, where there is no obvious underlying cause.…”

“…A Cochrane review published in 2011 5 and a more recent review 6 identified only one high level study that compares ES with a more modern technique, and the methodology of even this study was assessed by the Cochrane group as containing some risk of bias. 5 The high level study was that of Scheepers et al 2 who performed a randomised controlled trial comparing ES alone with LTS combined with ES. Doctors performed all treatments in their study.…”

Purpose To evaluate safety and long-term recurrence rate of entropion in patients having everting sutures (ES) for involutional entropion by ophthalmic nurses in a real clinical setting. Patients and methods Retrospective notes review of all patients who had an outpatient ES by our trained ophthalmic nurses over 2 year's time period. Outcome measures were complication and recurrence rates. Those with less than 3 years' recorded follow-up were contacted by paper questionnaire. Results 90 lids of 82 patients analysed. Mean age was 78 (range 54-97). In total, 82% had no entropion surgery before, whereas 13% had previous ES and 5% one or more other procedures. Questionnaires were sent to 38, with return rate of 81%. Recurrence rate was 21.1% after 36-60 months follow up from nurse-performed ES, with mean time to recurrence of 15 months (SD 13 months). A total of 32% of patients died during the follow-up period. Mean time between the procedure and death is 20.5 months. When ES were repeated twice (11 patients), recurrence rate was still 20%. No patients had any complications. Conclusion ES can be safely performed by ophthalmic nurses, with success rate comparable to the same technique performed by ophthalmologists.

“…Senile entropion/trichiasis is known to have fewer corneal complications compared with TT [20]. Thus, misclassification of trichiasis/entropion of a senile nature and TT could influence the association of visual impairment and TT intervention.…”

Oman is at the threshold of eliminating blinding trachoma. We conducted a community-based survey in 2009-10 to study the association of trachomatous trichiasis (TT) status with visual acuity and blindness among the Omani population aged 40+ years. A total of 8191 eyes were examined and participants' demographic data were collected. TT was absent in 7890 eyes but 227 of these eyes had had lid surgery for TT in the past. TT was detected in 301 eyes, for the first time in 154 eyes and following lid surgery in 147 eyes. The rate of blindness was significantly lower in eyes that had undergone lid surgery in the past (OR = 0.54). In regression analysis the predictors of blindness were participant's age (adjusted OR = 1.01), sex (aOR = 2.01), history of lid surgery (aOR = 3.09) and residence in a hyperendemic trachoma area (aOR = 10.6). Promotion of TT surgery might be beneficial in reducing blindness. (OR = 0,54). À l'analyse de régression, les facteurs prédictifs de la cécité étaient l'âge du patient (OR ajusté = 1,01), le sexe (ORa = 2,01), les antécédents de chirurgie des paupières (ORa = 3,09) et le lieu de résidence dans une zone où le trachome est hyperendémique (ORa = 10,6). La promotion de la chirurgie du trichiasis trachomateux pourrait contribuer à limiter les cas de cécité.
