Abstract
Tarsal ectropion and involutional entropion are two frequent age-related lower eyelid malpositions with a mirrored clinical presentation. The recent anatomical confirmation of two layers of lower eyelid retractors makes it possible to conceive of the role of each of these layers in the stability of the two palpebral lamellae and their involvement in the pathogenesis of these two malpositions. This study proposes a theory of common pathogenesis involving an involutional change in only the lower lid retractors, leading to the description of two new clinical-anatomical entities.Entities:
