Ectropion: When the Eyelid Turns Outward •Ectropion is a condition where the lower eyelid turns outward, exposing the inner surface of the eyelid. •This prevents proper tear drainage and can lead to dryness and irritation of the eye. •It commonly occurs in older adults due to weakening of eyelid muscles, but can also result from facial nerve problems, injury, or scarring.•Symptoms include excessive watering, dryness, redness, irritation, and a feeling of grittiness in the eye. •In severe cases, it may lead to infection or damage to the eye surface. •Treatment depends on severity. Mild cases may be managed with lubricating eye drops and ointments, while more severe cases often require minor surgical correction to reposition the eyelid.•At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for eyelid conditions like ectropion.•Early care helps prevent complications and maintain eye comfort.#Ectropion #EyeCare #EyelidCondition #HealthyEyes 👁️
