Abstract
A simply designed entropion patch provided effective temporary preoper ative relief of the symptoms of lid malposition in lower lid involutio nal entropion in six patients. The patch is easily fashioned and used after appropriate instruction, with its design taking into account lid mechanics and the pathophysiology of involutional entropion.
