Study of Jones procedure for senile entropion

Dr. Vivek M Sahasrabudhe, Dr. Romit R Salian

Abstract :

Involutional(senile) entropion is an inward rotation of the eyelid margin because of increased horizontal lid laxity, an overriding preseptal orbicularis, atrophied lid retractors, and involutional enophthalmos. this finally leads to impaired optical function of the ocular surface through chronic irritation of the conjunctiva and cornea as a result of persistent entropion and trichiasis. Conservative forms of therapy mostly provide only a temporary solution and are generally used in preoperative care or if surgical intervention is unfeasible. The aim of this study is to consider the merits of a selection of standard method (Jones’s Procedure) for the correction of lower lid entropion by describing their indication, technique and key points.
