Ectropion (Outward-Turning Eyelid)

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know ectropion usually affects the lower lid as its supporting tissues loosen with age.
   • I tell my eye doctor about facial weakness, skin problems, past surgery, injuries, and all eye drops I use.
   • I understand an exposed, dry eye can develop scratches, sores, or infection that may threaten sight.
   • I avoid rubbing my eye or pulling down on the loose eyelid.
