Methods 36 cases(72 eyes)of congenital epicanthus with entropion and trichiasis of the lower eyelid were treated with a horizontal incision of the inner canthus to release the traction of the incised line of the inner canthus. The correction of lower eyelid trichiasis, the improvement of epicanthus, and the degree of scar formation were observed. Results After the operation, all 72 eyes of the 36 patients were corrected for trichiasis and epicanthus. The patients were followed up for 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. The effective rate of trichiasis correction was 100%; the inner canthus space was narrowed, and the degree of aesthetics improved in all cases. Conclusion Incision of the inner canthus has a significant clinical effect on congenital epicanthus with lower eyelid trichiasis.
