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.

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.

Trichiasis is a condition of abnormal eyelash growth with misdirection posteriorly. Distichiasis is an abnormality of a second row of lashes emanating from meibomian glands. In both conditions the lid margin is in a normal position. Involutional entropion is an eyelid malposition with secondary trichiasis.

Orbit, 1989
Our knowledge of acquired trichiasis has grown very slowly and is incomplete even to-day. For nearly a century surgical therapy of trichiasis was surgery of the tarsus.New findings about congenital distichiasis may lead to a microsurgical solution of this difficult problem.

Transactions of the ophthalmological societies of the United Kingdom, 1979
A series of 41 cases of trichiasis was treated with cryosurgery using a standard retinal cryoprobe. The failure rate was approximately 50 per cent. The results should be improved by using properly designed equipment capable of cooling the lash follicles to -20 degrees C, and ensuring that this temperature is achieved by using a tissue thermocouple.

Argon Laser Treatment for Trichiasis
Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1992The goal of trichiasis treatment is to eliminate misdirected cilia that irritate the eyeball. Established methods for removal of the eyelashes include epilation, electrolysis, and cryotherapy. Cryotherapy is currently the most effective method in widespread use, but has as potential posttreatment complications "visual loss, lid notching, corneal ulcer,

Trichiasis: Making Progress Toward Elimination
International Ophthalmology Clinics, 2007Trachomatis trichiasis is the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. It is an ocular condition that dates back to ancient times, with evidence of the disease recorded as early as the 27th century BC. Once endemic in many parts of the world, including the United States and Europe, the disease is now concentrated primarily in sub-Saharan Africa,
