Entropion: When the Eyelid Turns Inward •Entropion is an eye condition in which the eyelid, usually the lower lid, turns inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the surface of the eye.• This constant friction can lead to irritation and damage to the cornea. •It commonly occurs in older adults due to weakening of the eyelid muscles, but it can also result from infections, scarring, or injury. •Symptoms may include redness, irritation, excessive tearing, a feeling of something in the eye, sensitivity to light, and blurred vision.• If left untreated, entropion can cause corneal damage and increase the risk of infection. •Treatment depends on the severity and may include lubricating eye drops, temporary measures to reposition the eyelid, or a minor surgical procedure for permanent correction. •At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide expert care to correct entropion and protect your eye health. Early treatment helps prevent complications and ensures long-term comfort.#Entropion #EyeCare #HealthyEyes #VisionCare 👁️
