Epífora e flacidez sem ectrópio: "tarsal strip" resolve sempre?

Abstract

In patients with epiphora, lax eyelids and patent lacrimal ducts, the tarsal strip procedure can significantly improve epiphora in most cases. As laxity ceased to exist in all eyelids, an assumption can be made that in some of the failures there may be other causes, concomitant with eyelid laxity, to explain perseverance of epiphora.
