Abstract
PURPOSE
To evaluate the causes and treatments of entropion and ectropion in adults. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of 397 patients (490 eyes) with entropion and 109 patients (138 eyes) with ectropion who underwent corrective surgery at Kim's Eye Hospital from January 2009 to December 2012. RESULTS: The surgical correction of entropion was 3.5 times greater than that of ectropion. The causes of entropion were classified as senile (98.4%), cicatricial (1.4%) and spastic (0.2%). The causes of ectropion were classified as cicatricial (60.1%), paralytic (23.2%) and senile (16.7%). CONCLUSIONS: The main causes of entropion and ectropion were senile and cicatricial, respectively. Specifically, senile entropion was more common than senile ectropion, which is considered to be related to the lid anatomy of Asian patients.
