Trichiasis is a lid margin disorder in which the eyelashes are misdirected toward the ocular surface. It is a major cause of ocular morbidity. Trichiasis is secondary to inflammation and scarring of the eyelash follicles. There is a frequent association between trichiasis and cicatricial entropion and the correct diagnosis is mandatory for a successful

Azithromycin Prevents Recurrence of Severe Trichiasis Following Trichiasis Surgery: STAR Trial
Ophthalmic Epidemiology, 2007Trichiasis, the potentially visually disabling result of chronic trachoma, is a leading cause of blindness world wide. Surgery can repair trichiasis, but recurrence of severe trichiasis (lashes touching the cornea) following surgery is likely to have immediate vision threatening consequences.

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.
