Horizontal eyelid shortening alone versus combined procedures for the correction of involutional lower eyelid entropion.

Background: Conventionally, management of involutional entropion involves correcting both vertical and horizontal laxity, however the optimal surgical approach is debated.

Objective: To compare the recurrence rate of horizontal lower eyelid shortening alone with combined surgical approaches for correction of involutional lower eyelid entropion.

Methods And Material: A retrospective, comparative, consecutive case series of patients undergoing surgery for involutional lower eyelid entropion with both horizontal and vertical laxity.
