Trichiasis in ancient times [PDF]
Clinics in Dermatology, 2016 Trichiasis, recognized since the time of Hippocrates, is a cause of ocular irritation that may result in scarring of the cornea and threaten sight. We have reviewed the original Greek medical texts made from the 1st to the 7th century ce and present the existing medical knowledge relating to trichiasis, including its clinical picture, cause, diagnosis,

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

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.

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.

Argon Laser Treatment of Trichiasis
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1992The argon laser was used to treat trichiasis in 44 patients over a five-year period. During follow-up intervals of between one month and more than four years (mean, 13 months), ablation of misdirected cilia was accomplished with one treatment in 26 patients (59%). No complications were observed.

Treatment of Trichiasis with Argon Laser
European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2000Purpose In this prospective study, argon laser photocoagulation was used to eliminate misdirected cilia. The cases were followed up to see the results and recurrences with this treatment. Methods 60 eyelids of 45 patients with trichiasis were treated with the argon laser. After topical anesthesia a blue-green argon laser was used with 1 watt power, for

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.

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.

Ectropion, entropion, trichiasis.
Minerva chirurgica, 2013Aim of this review was to describe ectropion, entropion and trichiasis and their therapy. These eyelid pathologies are characterised by common symptoms (redness, excessive tearing and irritation of the eye) and by altered balance of the anterior and posterior lamellae of the eyelids.
