The follow-up ranged from 1-6 months. Results: of the 35 eyes operated, 27 eyes (77.14%) were successfully treated (the eyelid was corrected); only 1 eye (5.72%) needed a repeat operation. This study indicated that mucous membrane graft is an effective treatment for patient with cicatricial entropion of eyelid. But, these are the first results.
