Abstract
- Entropion, a common malposition of the eyelid, can lead to trichiasis and corneal damage. This article presents a clinical case in which, following initial surgery to correct entropion, the use of a dermatological punch was chosen to definitively eliminate persistent trichiasis. This relatively unknown yet effective approach proved to be a quick and straightforward alternative with positive outcomes, emphasizing the importance of considering innovative approaches to recurrent challenges in clinical practice.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Sociedad Española de Oftalmología.
