Entropion is condition in which the eyelid margins turn inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the cornea and irritate the eye.
Treatment options
When the condition is mild it may be treated with eye drops to alleviate discomfort. Other therapies are available that may encourage the eyelid to turn outwards. The most effective treatment is surgery. By tightening the muscles and tissues in the eyelids, surgeons can restore them to the correct position. The surgery is considered safe and recovery usually only takes a few weeks.
