چکیده
PURPOSE To observe the role of senile enophthalmos in involutional entropion. METHODS Prospective clinical study comparing a population of 30 white patients above 65 years with involutional entropion (Group I) of an age- and race-matched control group (Group II). All age and exophthalmometric values were analyzed by a statistical study. RESULTS The average age was 77.7 years in Group I and 75.7 years in Group II. Eyes with involutional entropion are no more likely to have enophthalmos (15.22 mm) than is the involved contralateral eye (15.11 mm) or normal eyes of an age- and race-matched control group (15.13 mm). CONCLUSION There is no correlation between involutional entropion and senile enophthalmos.

ACCORDING to Kettesy (1948), non-cicatricial or senile entropion is the direct result of a migration and accumulation of orbicularis fibres at the lid margin. The contraction of the orbicularis which follows causes excessive pressure on the upper margin of the eyelid, the mechanics of the lid musculature are altered, and entropion results. As stated by Kettesy (1948): "The normal distribution o...
