Abstract

While there are many effective entropion repair techniques, the pre-tarsal orbicularis muscle transposition is one of the simplest to perform. It gives excellent result by addressing the pathophysiology and minimally disturbing normal anatomy. It may be used in the correction of involutional and severe form of spastic entropion. Recurrence is very rare, and when it occurs, the same technique may be repeated without difficulty.
