Trichiasis: When Eyelashes Grow Inward Toward the Eye •Trichiasis is an eye condition where the eyelashes grow inward and rub against the surface of the eye instead of growing outward normally. •This constant friction can irritate the cornea and conjunctiva.•Symptoms include redness, watering, foreign body sensation, light sensitivity, eye pain, and blurred vision. Repeated rubbing of the lashes may damage the cornea if left untreated.•Trichiasis can occur due to chronic eye inflammation, eyelid infections, scarring, or age-related changes. •Treatment depends on severity and may include removal of the misdirected lashes, laser treatment, electrolysis, or minor surgery to correct eyelash growth.• Lubricating drops may also help reduce irritation.•At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide effective diagnosis and treatment for eyelid and eyelash disorders to protect the eye surface and maintain healthy vision. #Trichiasis #EyeCare #EyelidCondition #HealthyEyes 👁️
