Abstract
This technique is useful to stabilize the medial canthal tendon and prevent medial migration of the lower punctum when performing a lateral tarsal strip for involutional ectropion with marked medial tendon laxity. It is also useful in the treatment of inferior scleral show/ectropion in case of VII nerve palsy, along with a lateral tarsal strip.
