Medial involutional ectropion without excessive lateral canthal tendon laxity is often corrected using the lazy-T procedure. This procedure however carries a potential risk of canalicular damage, and locating the lower lid retractors can be difficult. We have developed a modification. Replacing the tarso-conjunctival diamond with a subconjuctival pocket posterior and inferior to the punctum, into which the lower lid retractors are advanced from the base of the wedge excision, which effectively ensures plication of the lower lid retractors while maintaining a straightforward procedure. The follow-up data on five procedures showed surgical and symptomatic success in all patients, without complications. These results confirm the efficacy of this modification of the lazy-T procedure in the correction of medial lower lid ectropion.
