Entropion
Entropion is a condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the cornea. This can lead to:
- Eye irritation: Discomfort, redness, and tearing.
- Corneal damage: Potential scarring or ulcers.
Causes include:
- Aging: Weakening of eyelid muscles.
- Scarring: From injury or infection.
- Muscle weakness: Certain neurological conditions.
Treatment often involves surgery to tighten or reposition the eyelid. If you’re experiencing symptoms, consult an eye doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
