01: Background Trachoma is the leading infectious cause of blindness Strategies to eliminate trachoma include surgery, antibiotics, and prevention measures Objective: To assess the interventions for trachomatous trichiasis for people living in endemic settings

02: Types of studies Participants 13 studies, 8586 participants Interventions Five studies compared surgical interventions Three studies examined antibiotic use following surgery One study compared sutures One study compared epilation to surgery One study compared outcomes of treatments in the community One study compared results of surgery performed by an eye doctor versus a non-specialist

03: Key results “These trials suggested that the most effective surgery requires full-thickness incision of the tarsal plate and rotation of the edge of the eyelid.” “The addition of azithromycin treatment at the time of surgery may reduce post-operative trichiasis…” “Epilation is less effective than surgery at treating trichiasis, but has comparable results for vision and corneal change two years after intervention.”

03: Key results (continued) “Surgery performed by ophthalmologists and by integrated eye care workers were both similarly effective.”

04: Tables

05: Conclusions “No trials were designed to evaluate whether the interventions for trichiasis prevent blindness as an outcome…” “Full-thickness incision of the tarsal plate and rotation of the lash-bearing lid margin was found to be the best technique and is preferably delivered in the community.”
