ENTROPION

Entropion

Entropion is a condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the cornea. This can lead to:

  1. Eye irritation: Discomfort, redness, and tearing.
  2. Corneal damage: Potential scarring or ulcers.

Causes include:

  1. Aging: Weakening of eyelid muscles.
  2. Scarring: From injury or infection.
  3. 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.
