First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tests two different surgical techniques for people who need repeat eyelid surgery for trichiasis, a condition where eyelashes grow inward and scratch the eye. About 1,000 adults in Tanzania will receive either the standard procedure or a newer method called B-RAP. The goal is to see which technique better prevents eyelashes from turning inward again within one year, which could improve vision and quality of life.
