Lateral tarsal strip versus lateral tarsal strip with three-snip punctoplasty for managing epiphora in involutional ectropion.

CONCLUSION: The study findings indicate that treatment of involutional ectropion with partial punctal stenosis by lateral tarsal strip with three snip punctoplasty does not provide greater reduction in discomfort secondary to epiphora than conventional lateral tarsal strip alone, except for specific situations such as night driving or computer use.
