一些严重沙眼结膜瘢痕患者发生内翻和倒睫，而另一些患者没有发生的原因，目前还没有发表的调查报告。在一群患有严重沙眼结膜瘢痕的麻风病患者中，作者发现眼lagophthalmmos与没有倒睫和内翻相关。我们认为眼轮匝肌功能，以及个体之间的其他解剖差异，可能有助于结膜瘢痕患者沙眼性内翻和倒睫的发展。
There has been no published investigation into the reasons why some patients with severe trachomatous conjunctival scarring develop entropion and trichiasis while others do not. In a population of leprosy patients with severe trachomatous conjunctival scarring the authors found that lagophthalmos correlated with the absence of trichiasis and entropion. We suggest that orbicularis oculi muscle function, as well as other anatomical variations among individuals, may contribute to the development of trachomatous entropion and trichiasis in patients with conjunctival scarring.
