Abstract

Five Lazy-T procedures for medial ectropion of the lower lid were performed in 4 patients(3 males, 1 female). Of these 5 procedures, one was for involutional ectropion and 4 were for cicatrical ectropion which occurred after lid surgery or were due to facial xerosis. Ages ranged from 55 to 68 years. After the follow-up period of 8 to 29 months, all cases showed marked improvement of tearing, ocular injection, and discharge without any recurrence or overcorrection.
