Entropion
What is an entopion?
An entropion occurs when the eyelid (usually the lower lid) turns inwards. When this occurs the eyelashes can scratch the eyeball causing significant irritation and pain.
How is an entropion treated?
Fortunately an entropion can be cured very effectively with entropion surgery. During entropion surgery, the eyelid is returned to its normal position so that the eyelashes no longer scratch the surface of the eye.
