Introduction
The procedure for trichiasis surgery is generally simple, typically involving steps such as disinfection, marking, anesthesia, removal, and suturing. Lines are drawn and marked at the locations of the inverted eyelashes that require excision or correction. Depending on the specific condition of the trichiasis, excess loose skin and orbicularis oculi muscle may be removed, or repositioned and fixed to the tarsal plate. If this procedure is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.
Entropion surgery is generally simple to perform, involving the following steps: disinfection, marking, anesthesia, removal, and suturing. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Routinely disinfect the eye and surrounding skin to prevent infection.
2. Mark with lines the areas of eyelashes that need to be removed or corrected.
3. Administer 2% lidocaine anesthetic drops onto the conjunctiva of the eyelid for local anesthesia.
4. After anesthesia takes effect, depending on the specific entropion condition, remove redundant loose skin and orbicularis oculi muscle, or alternatively fix them to the tarsal plate.
5. Once no abnormalities are detected, suture the incision site.
If this procedure is required, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician to minimize risks. Postoperative care should be strengthened to prevent infection.
