    Trichiasis refers to inward misdirection of eyelashes that causes the eyelashes to rub against the cornea. It is commonly caused by conditions like trachoma, blepharitis, and conjunctivitis. Symptoms include foreign body sensation, photophobia, irritation, pain, and tearing. Signs include misdirected eyelashes, eyelid spasms, and conjunctival congestion. Left untreated, trichiasis can lead to complications such as recurrent corneal abrasions, corneal opacities, and corneal ulcers. Treatment options include epilation, electrolysis, cryoepilation, and surgical correction to remove misdirected eyelashes.

    DEFINATION-

    It refers to inward misdirection of cilia and the


    eyelid is normal in position, the misdirected
    cilia rubbed against the cornea.
    PSEUDOTRICHIASIS-inward misdirection of
    cilia along with lid margin.
    ETIOLOGY-
    Common causes of trichiasis-
    Cicatrising trachoma
    Ulcerative blepharitis
    Healed membranous conjunctivitis
    Hordeolum externum
    Mechanical injuries
    Burns
    SYMPTOMS-
    Foreign body sensation
    Photophobia
    Irritation
    Pain
    Lacrimation
    SIGNS-
    Misdirected cilia
    Reflex blepharospasm
    Congested cunjunctiva
    COMPLICATION-
    Recurrent corneal abrasions
    Superficial corneal opecities
    Corneal vascularisation
    Non healed corneal ulcer
    TREATMENT-
    1. EPILATION-Mechanical removal with
    forceps
    2. ELECTROLYSIS-it is a method of destroying
    the lash follicle by electric current.
    3. CRYOEPILATION-
    4. SURGICAL CORRECTION-
