Xeno-ADM combined with inferior eyelid margin fixation to treat entropion accompanied by lower eyelid retraction.

OBJECTIVE

To report the efficacy of "Xeno-ADM combined with inferior eyelid margin fixation" for entropion accompanied by lower eyelid retraction.

METHODS

A retrospective review of 28 patients (48 eyes) diagnosed with lower eyelid entropion accompanied by lower eyelid retraction was performed. The follow-up period lasted more than 6 months. MRD2, angle between the eyelashes and the corneal surface, ocular discomfort symptoms, and complications were recorded and used to evaluate the efficacy and safety.

RESULTS

Twenty eight patients (48 eyes) were included, within 6 months after surgery, 45 eyes (93.75%) had complete relief from ocular discomfort, while 3 eyes (6.3%) showed partial improvement; 48 eyes (100%) had complete resolution of the foreign body sensation; 15 eyes (83.3%) had complete relief from lacrimation, and 3 eyes (16.7%) showed partial improvement, MRD2 was from 7.2 (7.0, 7.5) mm to 5.5 (5.0, 5.5) mm (Z = -3.995, P < 0.01). The angle between the eyelashes and the cornea was from 36.76 (32.18, 38.49) to 68.23 (67.30, 70.31) (Z = -6.031, P < 0.01). And no other complications, such as infection, rejection, and dislocation, were observed.

CONCLUSION

Xeno-ADM combined with inferior eyelid margin fixation is reasonably successful in managing entropion accompanied by lower eyelid retraction.
