What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Eyelids With Post-operative Trichiasis Within 12 Months
Time Frame: 10-20 months
|
Presence of post-operative trichiasis defined as at least one trichiatic eyelashes or evidence of recent epilation.
Trichiatic eyelashes are eyelashes touching the globe with the eye in the primary gaze.
The outcome will be assessed at 3-6 months and at 12 months.
If the eyelid has trichiasis at 2 weeks, but not at 3-6 months or 12 months, the eyelid will not be considered to have post-operative trichiasis.
Due to COVID, the visit window for the Month 12 visits ranged from 10-20 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Eyelids With Presence of Post-operative Trichiasis Within 3-6 Months
Time Frame: 3-6 months
|
Presence of post-operative trichiasis defined as at least one trichiatic eyelash or evidence of recent epilation.
Trichiatic eyelashes are eyelashes touching the globe with the eye in primary gaze.
|
3-6 months
|
Number of Eyelids With Each of the Trichiasis Severity Levels at 3-6 Months
Time Frame: 3-6 months
|
Severity will be graded as mild, moderate, or severe based on the number of eyelashes touching the globe and the amount of eyelashes epilated. Trichiasis severity will be defined using the following categories: i. Mild: 1-4 eyelashes touching globe and no epilation OR <1/3 eyelashes epilated and no eyelashes touching the globe ii. Moderate: 5-9 eyelashes touching globe and no epilation OR 1-4 eyelashes touching globe and <1/3 eyelashes epilated iii. Severe: 5-9 eyelashes touching globe and <1/3 eyelashes epilated OR 10+ eyelashes touching globe (regardless of epilation status) OR ≥1/3 eyelashes epilated (regardless of eyelashes touching globe) OR entire eyelid epilated |

Severe: 5-9 eyelashes touching globe and <1/3 eyelashes epilated OR 10+ eyelashes touching globe (regardless of epilation status) OR ≥1/3 eyelashes epilated (regardless of eyelashes touching globe) OR entire eyelid epilated. Due to COVID, the visit window for the Month 12 visits ranged from 10-20 months. |

Change in Severity of Post-operative Trichiasis Between 3-6 Months and 1 Year Using Grading System
Time Frame: 10-20 months
|
The change in PTT severity between 3-6 months and 12 months will be measured in eyes with PTT at 3-6 months that also were examined at the 12-month visit.
Change will be measured in the difference in the number of categories between 3-6 month and 1 year outcome.
For example, Mild to Severe would be a 2 category change.

10-20 months
|
Number of Eyelids With Moderate/Severe Eyelid Contour Abnormalities at 3-6 Months
Time Frame: 3-6 months
|
The examiner will assess for eyelid contour abnormalities (ECA) and grade the abnormalities as mild, moderate, or severe. For the analysis, no abnormality and mild eyelid contour abnormality will be combined, and moderate and severe eyelid contour abnormality will be combined. For secondary analyses, the investigators will classify eyelid contour abnormalities using the photographs to capture the full range of ECA categories: none, mild, moderate, and severe. The definitions for the categories are: 1) Mild: Vertical deviation from the natural contour, 1 mm in height (less than half the pupil height in daylight) and affecting 1/3 of horizontal eyelid length. 2) Moderate: Vertical deviation from the natural contour 1-2 mm in height (about the pupil height in daylight) or affecting 1/3-2/3 of horizontal eyelid length 3) Severe: Vertical deviation from the natural contour 2 mm in height (more than the pupil height in daylight) or a defect >2/3 of the horizontal eyelid len |

Cumulative Number of Eyelids With Presence of Pyogenic Granulomas Within 10-20 Months
Time Frame: 10-20 months
|
Pyogenic granulomas occasionally develop after trichiasis surgery.
It is thought that this is a response to a foreign material, such as a sutures or an incision edge.
All granulomas will be noted regardless of size.
The investigators will count granulomas observed at the 3-6 month visit (including participants where the granuloma was removed) and granulomas observed at the 12 month visit.
Due to COVID, the visit window for the Month 12 visits ranged from 10-20 months.
