Ectropion: When the Eyelid Turns Outward •Ectropion is an eye condition in which the lower eyelid turns outward, exposing the inner surface of the eyelid and causing improper tear drainage. •This leads to dryness, irritation, and increased risk of infection.• It is commonly seen in older adults due to aging and weakening of the eyelid muscles, but it can also occur due to facial nerve problems, injury, or scarring. Symptoms may include excessive watering, dryness, redness, irritation, sensitivity to light, and a feeling of discomfort in the eye. •In some cases, the eye may appear visibly droopy or sagging. If left untreated, ectropion can lead to chronic irritation and damage to the eye surface.• Treatment depends on the severity and may include lubricating eye drops, ointments, or surgical correction to restore normal eyelid position.• At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide effective treatment to manage ectropion and improve eye comfort. Early diagnosis and proper care are important to prevent complications and protect vision. #Ectropion #EyeCare #HealthyEyes #VisionCare 👁️
