Comparing two approaches for repeat eyelash surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Infections clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing repeat surgery for trichiasis (eyelashes turning inward) on the upper eyelid. The surgeries will be done by specially trained eye care workers, and the goal is to see which approach works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had surgery for trichiasis on the same eyelid before.
- You are planning to have surgery again for this condition.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.
