The eyelids are a vital part of the body. These thin sections of tissue are responsible for keeping the eyes lubricated and protecting them from foreign items and potential threats.
Ectropion is a concerning condition that forces the eyelid to turn outward, separating it from the surface of the eye. This can lead to a number of issues with the eyelid and the eye itself. You may experience excessive tearing, a gritty feeling on the eyes, irritation around the eye, and excessive dryness. Sensitivity to light may occur, and if left untreated, there is the risk of vision impairment.
