In the picture of mild trichiasis, trichiasis is an abnormal situation in which eyelashes grow in an abnormal direction and touch the eyeball. It is also a common eye disease in life. Severe trichiasis will affect vision. Let's take a look at the pictures of mild trichiasis.

Photo of mild trichiasis 1 In daily life, many people will have trichiasis, which is divided into mild, moderate and severe, while mild trichiasis, generally speaking, foreign body sensation, irritation symptoms and conjunctival congestion and edema are not very serious, but it must also be actively treated, otherwise once it develops into moderate or severe, this corneal epithelium will suffer serious losses.

And there will be punctate defects of corneal epithelium, or rough corneal epithelium. Be sure to go to the hospital as soon as possible to see what causes it and how to deal with it.

Generally speaking, this treatment method is divided into eyelash forceps extraction or electrolytic trichiasis and inversion correction surgery. At present, the most widely used correction surgery should be entropion correction surgery, because all the factors that cause entropion often lead to trichiasis.

Trichiasis: refers to the abnormal condition that eyelashes grow backward to touch the eyeball. Trichiasis is a common external eye disease in children, adolescents and the elderly, mainly because of the abnormal growth direction of eyelashes. Eyelashes with abnormal growth direction, especially those growing backward to the corneal surface, not only often rub the corneal epithelium, causing foreign body sensation, fear of light, tears and other symptoms, but also cause eyeball congestion, conjunctivitis, corneal epithelial shedding, keratitis, corneal pannus, corneal ulcer, corneal leukoplakia and so on, further affecting vision.

Disease introduction

Normal eyelashes grow in the front lip of eyelid margin, developed from the surface ectodermal epithelium, and arranged in 2 ~ 3 rows, showing short and curved coarse hair. Eyelashes have the functions of avoiding light, shielding dust, preventing foreign objects from entering the eyes and beautifying the eyes. Slender, black and upturned eyelashes play an important role in beautifying people's appearance. There are a large number of eyelashes on the upper eyelid, ranging in length from 100 to 150, with an average length of 8- 12mm. When eyes are open and closed, the angle of upper eyelid eyelashes is 1 10 ゜ ~ 130 ゜. There are 50 ~ 80 eyelashes in the lower eyelid, with an average length of about 6 ~ 8 mm, and when the eyelashes of the lower eyelid are open, they are 100 ~ 120 ゜. There are many small holes in the posterior lip of eyelid, which are the openings of meibomian gland ducts, and meibomian gland itself is located in meibomian. The abnormality of eyelash inclination angle can be caused by the change of eyelash growth angle or eyelid disease.

Mild trichiasis Picture 2 What is trichiasis?

Trichiasis refers to the whole row of eyelashes (generally) growing inward, thus touching the cornea. Generally divided into upper eyelid trichiasis and lower eyelid trichiasis and lower eyelid entropion. Eyelashes grow along the direction of the eyeball and brush to the eyeball. If the eyeball is stimulated for a long time, it will lead to keratitis and corneal ulcer. It may even affect vision and cause astigmatism or amblyopia.

How to judge whether the baby has trichiasis?

The baby's nasal bone and eye shape are poorly developed, and the probability of trichiasis is very high. And because the baby is young, it is impossible to accurately describe his eye discomfort. If parents find that the baby frequently rubs his eyes, blinks, tears increase, gum increases, and he is afraid of squinting, it may be a disaster caused by trichiasis or confusion. Careful parents can find some abnormalities in time even with the naked eye. At this time, we must pay attention to it and take the baby to a professional ophthalmologist for examination in time.

How to deal with infant trichiasis?

1. If the baby just likes rubbing his eyes and has no other symptoms, parents only need to massage his double eyelids at home to make them evert, so as to reduce the time when the inverted eyelashes touch the eyeball.

2. If the baby has symptoms of increased eye secretions, it indicates conjunctival inflammation. At this time, eye drops should be used in combination to reduce inflammatory reaction.

3. If the baby has photophobia, tears and other symptoms, it means that the cornea is damaged. It is suggested that you must go to the hospital for examination, and the doctor should check the degree of corneal injury and treat the symptoms. With the growth of age and the development of the bridge of the nose, trichiasis will disappear on its own, so there is no need to rush to surgery. But there are also a few children with trichiasis who will persist.

4. If the child still has obvious trichiasis when he is 5-6 years old, which seriously stimulates the cornea and causes obvious symptoms, you can consider trichiasis correction surgery.

Because with the growth of age, the tougher the hair of infants and young children, the more obvious the irritation symptoms to the cornea, and the greater the damage to the cornea. If it is not corrected in time, it will cause serious corneal diseases and affect vision.

Mild trichiasis picture 3 trichiasis is an abnormal condition in which eyelashes grow in an abnormal direction and touch the eyeball. One of the more serious is that eyelashes grow on the corneal surface and often rub the corneal epithelium, resulting in foreign body sensation. Patients often rub their eyes for unknown reasons, bringing germs into their eyes, causing eye pain, redness, tears, fear of light, increased secretions, and even conjunctival congestion, corneal epithelial keratosis, corneal ulcer, corneal epithelial part shedding and other injuries, thus affecting vision.

There are three main reasons for trichiasis.

One is congenital entropion, which is more common in infants and adolescents and only occurs in the lower eyelid. It is caused by the oppression of epicanthus, the over-development of orbicularis oculi muscle or the dysplasia of meibomian, which pushes eyelashes and leads to abnormal changes in the growth direction of eyelashes.

One is caused by various blepharitis, such as common mites and trachoma.

There is also an abnormal eyelid margin caused by mechanical trauma, chemical trauma and other trauma, which causes eyelash growth disorder to touch the cornea.

Common treatment methods of trichiasis

According to the number and degree of trichiasis, different and targeted treatment methods are adopted.

I. Extraction method

If the number of trichiasis is small, only one or two, you can use your own beauty tweezers to get rid of it. The treatment is simple, but trichiasis will recur in a few weeks and needs to be pulled out again and again.

Second, the electrolytic method

Patients with mild trichiasis can receive electrolytic treatment. The principle of electrolysis is similar to depilation, which is mainly achieved by destroying hair follicles and pulling out trichiasis. Sometimes it takes repeated treatment to achieve the ideal effect.

Third, surgical correction.

For friends with severe trichiasis, it is recommended that the eyelid margin be pulled outward to correct trichiasis. In the process of eye plastic surgery for more than 20 years, I found that many patients came to me to repair the scars left by traditional surgery. In order to obtain better surgical effect for trichiasis patients, after repeated clinical practice and a lot of medical research, I summarized a set of TFS seamless incision technology, the core of which is to cut the skin at multiple levels, minimize the tension of the skin, and perform tension-free suture in situ without rebounding or stretching the skin, effectively solving trichiasis, leaving no scars and making the eyes more beautiful.
