JONES PROCEDURE FOR SENILE ENTROPION

Atrophied lid retractors, involutional enophthalmos, an overriding preseptal orbicularis, and increased horizontal lid laxity all contribute to involutional (senile) entropion, which is an inward rotation of the eyelid edge. Persistent entropion and trichiasis ultimately result in chronic irritation of the cornea and conjunctiva, impairing the optical function of the ocular surface. Usually utilized in preoperative treatment or when surgical intervention is not practical, conservative types of therapy only offer a short-term fix. By outlining their indication, methodology, and salient features, the study seeks to evaluate the benefits of a few common methods (Jones Procedure) for the repair of lower lid entropion.
