Abstract
Trichiasis is a disorder of the eyelid margin characterized by misdirected eyelash growth toward the ocular surface, where they touch and irritate the cornea(1). It is most commonly observed in older adults and the majority of cases are caused by persistent inflammation of the eyelid margin(2). Laser thermal ablation is a rapid and easy treatment for milder manifestations of this condition and is recommended when there are 10 or fewer affected lashes. Following the treatment, a three-month follow-up is required to assess new lash growth
