Case description

Video by: Dr H. Aral
This video shows a new technique which enables the surgeon to excise the lash with its follicle to prevent regrowth in a single movement. The procedure does not need any preparation, leaving the lid with minimal concomitant trauma which prevents recurrence of trichiasis.
Trichiasis, a very common lid abnormality, is defined as the misdirection of eyelashes toward the eye. Localised distichiasis and trichiasis with resulting keratopathy leads to considerable impairment for the patient.
