Popis:	The authors conducted a thorough investigation of the files for the purpose of studying the clinical characteristics of trichiasis as well as of defining standards for a more appropriate approach to the treatment of this condition. A total of 216 cases of trichiasis were studied. The following topics were analyzed: (1) etiology, (2) clinical characteristics, (3) procedures carried out, (4) results.The observations were based on comparison of the data of this study with those in the literature and they reflect the experience of the authors in this matter. The conclusions are: (1) trichiasis results from an inflammatory-cicatricial process and must be distinguished from distichiasis and entropion; (2) marginal inflammations, mainly atopic ones, have overtaken trachoma as the principal cause of trichiasis; (3) surgical planning depends essentially on any concurrence with entropion and the extent of the eyelid margin affected by the trichiasis.
