Cryotherapy for Trichiasis in Trachoma
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1989Trichiasis secondary to trachoma was treated in 137 eyelids from 64 patients in Saudi Arabia. Cryotherapy with high-flow nitrous oxide was applied to the lid margin for 45 seconds in a freeze-thaw-freeze cycle. The success rate of treated eyelids was 56% after one treatment and increased to 90% after a second treatment.

Cryosurgery for Treatment of Trichiasis
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1976We cryosurgically destroyed eyelashes in rabbits and applied the technique to treat 23 selected patients with trichiasis. Liquid nitrogen was sprayed on the eyelid margin by using a double, rapid-freeze, slow-thaw cycle monitored by a subcutaneous thermocouple to -30 degrees C. It was an improvement on electrolysis and a simple alternative to surgery.

Trachoma is the most common cause of trichiasis and cicatricial entropion worldwide. Tarsal fracture and lid margin rotation is the principal surgical technique used for correction. The transconjunctival approach offers a simple, rapid, and highly effective approach without the need for a skin incision. It is used for both the upper and lower lids.
