Patients without retinal displacement had the highest VRQOL composite and subscale scores, while superior retinal displacement was linked to significantly lower scores. Patients who underwent combined surgery and those who were pseudophakic postoperatively had better VRQOL scores.

VRQOL is significantly impacted by retinal displacement, with superior displacement associated with the lowest scores.

Based on this unifying algorithm, we propose identical surgical management of these two forms of lid malposition; the surgical goal in both cases is to correct the altered position of the retractors as a priority. Moreover, the local anesthetic, surgical instruments and sutures are the same, as is the conjunctival approach. The surgical reinsertion of the retractors specific to each of the two types of malposition, combined with a lateral canthoplasty if necessary, and the post-operative course are all the same. Operating on a tarsal ectropion or an involutional entropion in the same way has the advantage of simplifying surgical management, making it easier to learn the technique and optimising operating room time and logistics.</div></div><div><div>La théorie pathogénique commune de l’ectropion tarsal et de l’entropion involutif décrit deux nouvelles entités anatomo-cliniques : une altération isolée du faisceau postérieur des rétracteurs pour l’ectropion tarsal et une altération du faisceau postérieur des rétracteurs associée à celle du faisceau antérieur pour l’entropion involutif. À partir de cet algorithme uniciste, il est proposé une prise en charge chirurgicale identique de ces deux malpositions : l’indication chirurgicale vise dans les deux cas à corriger les rétracteurs altérés en priorité, l’anesthésie locale est identique, le matériel chirurgical et les sutures sont les mêmes, la technique avec voie d’abord conjonctivale est identique, réalisant la réinsertion chirurgicale des rétracteurs propre à chacune des deux malpositions, une canthoplastie latérale est associée si besoin, enfin les suites opératoires sont communes.
