Abstract

Lid abnormalities are commonly encountered in daily practice and may present as epiphora, foreign body sensation, visual impairment or cosmetic disfigurement. Most of these conditions warrant a timely and appropriate intervention prior to surgery. A thorough understanding of anatomy and pathophysiology forms the backbone of correction procedures. This video-assisted course will focus on critical work up and surgical management of entropion, ectropion, trichiasis, distichiasis, ptosis, lid retraction, lid tears and lid coloboma.
