Entropion (Inward-Turning Eyelid)

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose & Prevention

   • I know entropion usually affects the lower lid and often develops as eyelid support weakens with age.
   • I tell my eye doctor about past eye surgery, burns, injuries, infections, or scarring.
   • I understand rubbing lashes can scratch the clear front of my eye and cause sores, infection, or vision loss.
   • I avoid rubbing my eye or squeezing it shut tightly, which can worsen the inward rolling.
