The author reports on the advantages of Fox's technique in the surgery of senile entropion on the basis of experiences with 30 interventions on 26 patients. In the evolution of senile entropion the structural changes in the orbicularis oculi muscle plays a decisive role, which leads to the malfunction of the muscle. The degenerative changes of the muscle are shown with electron microscopy. The author recommends the Fox technique because this type of intervention aims to abolish the cause of the aging process and not only the consequences of it as other methods do.
