Repair of cicatricial entropion of the upper eyelid.

The disparity in vertical length between the skin muscle lamellae and the tarsoconjunctival lamellae in cicatricial entropion of the upper eyelid secondary to contracture of the transconjunctival layer was corrected by a transconjunctival incision allowing the eyelid to straighten. The resultant defect in the tarsoconjunctival lamellae was corrected by means of a bare scleral graft 20% larger than the defect in the eyelid. The graft was allowed to epithelialize spontaneously and was not covered with mucuous membrane.
