Patient's question:
A child is born with trichiasis (ingrown eyelashes) and loves crying. Now at 4 years old, they cry less than before but still tear up when exposed to wind. An examination revealed poor vision, so how can it be corrected?Doctor's answer:
Simply trimming eyelashes can regenerate them, and newly grown lashes may cause more obvious irritation.3. Electrolysis is suitable for only a very small number of cases of ingrown eyelashes. Electrolysis destroys the hair follicles and trims them, but sometimes it may require multiple repeated treatments to achieve the desired effect.
4. Cryotherapy If cryotherapy is used to destroy hair follicles, ingrown eyelashes will not regenerate. It can eliminate many eyelashes, but potential complications include: loss of skin pigmentation, postoperative eyelid notching, damage to the meibomian glands, and interference with the stability of the tear film.
