METHOD:THERE ARE MANY SURGICAL TECHNIQUES TO MANAGE BUT RECURRECNCE IS THE PROBLEM OUR METHOD INVOLVES FIXATION OF LOWER LID RETRACTORS ARE ATTACHED TO LOWER BORDER OF THE TARSAL PLATE WITH OR WITHOUT SKIN RESECTION. THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED RESULTED IN THE RESTORATION OF LOWER EYELID NORMAL ANATOMY AS WELL AS IN A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF THE PATIENT’S DISCOMFORT AND SYMPTOMS. ON LONGER FOLLOW UP RECURRENCE RATE IS MINIMAL, POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS SUCH AS OVERCORRECTION, SUTURE-KNOT EXPOSURE, OR OCULAR IRRITATION WERE MINIMAL

CONCLUSION: THIS TECHNIQUE IS A QUICK, SIMPLE, AND PREDICTIVE FOR INVOLUTIONAL ENTROPION REPAIR, AND HAS A HIGH SUCCESS AND LESS RECURRENCE RATE.
