Entropion

Entropion is a similar condition to ectropion. However, instead of the loose eyelid turning outward, the loose eyelid turns inward. In this condition, the eyelashes often rub on the cornea, causing pain, discharge, tearing, and puts the patient at risk for scratches and infections of the cornea. Entropion is also repaired by tightening the eyelid to prevent inversion.
