Randomized trial evaluates treatment outcomes of eyelid lacerations in elderly individuals, suggesting enhanced care can improve recovery.

This study aims to evaluate the characteristics and treatment outcomes of traumatic eyelid lacerations in older adults.
Recorded demographic data including age, gender, affected eyelids, and nature of trauma.
Analyzed treatment outcomes in two periods: early (first month) and late (sixth month) postoperative.
Focused on endpoints like eyelid integrity restoration, lagophthalmos, complications, and functional outcomes.
Eyelid integrity achieved in 95.8% (n=46) of patients in the early postoperative period.
Lagophthalmos resolved in 2.08% (1 patient); no cases of entropion or ectropion observed initially but observed in 8.33% later.
Persistent epiphora in 6.25% (3 patients) out of those with lacrimal system injury during follow-up.
