Transconjunctival Entropion Surgery

Recently, I read the article by Dresner and Karesh1 on transconjunctival entropion repair (the Archives arrived late for reasons other than the distance over the Atlantic).

Abstract

Abstract Uppsala (Sweden) University was founded in 1477. In 1492, Columbus discovered the New World.
