Brief description of study.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether contouring of lower eyelid prolapsed orbital fat improves the recurrence rate in involutional lower eyelid entropion.
Detailed description of study
The purpose of this study is to determine whether contouring of lower eyelid prolapsed orbital fat improves the recurrence rate in involutional lower eyelid entropion.
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: Healthy
-
Age: 100 years or below
-
Gender: All
The purpose of this study is to determine whether contouring of lower eyelid prolapsed orbital fat improves the recurrence rate in involutional lower eyelid entropion. Entropion is a condition where the eyelid turns inward, causing discomfort. This study investigates if adjusting the fat in the lower eyelid can reduce the chances of this condition returning.
Participants in this study will undergo a procedure to contour, or reshape, the fat in their lower eyelids. This is done to see if it helps in preventing the eyelid from turning inward again. Complex terms like 'prolapsed orbital fat' refer to fat that has moved out of its usual place around the eye.
- Who can participate: Individuals aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with involutional lower eyelid entropion are eligible to participate. Key eligibility includes no previous eyelid surgery and no other significant eye conditions.
- Study details: Participants will undergo a procedure to contour the fat in their lower eyelids. This involves reshaping the fat to assess if it prevents the eyelid from turning inward again, without repeating information from the paragraphs.
