ABSTRACT
Although the WHO document WHO/PBL/93.29 recommends the bilamellar tarsal rotation operation for trachomatous entropion, we will describe another operation that has proved to be very reliable. It is a combined method, consisting of the modified tarsal wedge resection and the eversion splinting-grey line incision. A possible additional correction of the grey line incision on the first postoperative day improves the results. A total of 708 eyes with moderate trachomatous entropion and major trichiasis underwent this surgery, but only 508 of these were followed up during a 6-month period. The rate of failed operations, which consisted of incomplete closure of the lids or more than two inverted lashes remaining, was 6.9%.
