TREATMENT OF INJURIES AND DISEASES OF THE HEAD 145 rather than attempts at its inversion, is essential in cases of extreme eversion(Figs. 784 and 785). If there is relaxation of the tissues, eversion of the lower lid, and thicken-ing of the everted conjunctiva, the Kuhnt-Szymanowski operation is valuable(Fig. 786). The lid margin is incised posterior to the cilia, and the tarsusseparated from the tissues in front of it. This dissection should be madethroughout nearly the whole extent of the ectropion.
