Eyelashes are important to protect the eyes from dirt and pollutants. But some people have eyelashes that grow in the wrong direction, thus causing discomfort. This condition is called Trichiasis.

Trichiasis can occur due to an eye infection, trauma or aging. Although it is more common in adults, children can get Trichiasis too. Having eyelashes that rub against the eyeball can lead to irritation, infection, scarring and eyesight problems, among others.

Trichiasis Correction procedure is an operation that can change the direction of eyelash growth, hence improving your vision and quality of life.

In the procedure, the skin of the lower eyelid will be excised and sewn to the tarsal plate of the lower eyelid. This will correct the direction in which the eyelashes are growing. Since the operation is done on a delicate area, you can expect strong swelling during recovery. Thread removal will be done in the follow-up visit, which is a week after the surgery.
