Entropion

Description

Entropion, often called “inward-turning eyelid,” “folded-in eyelid,” or “eyelid inversion,” is a condition where the edge of the eyelid turns inward so that the lashes and skin rub against the eye’s surface. This uncomfortable situation can lead to symptoms like redness, irritation, tearing, gritty sensation, or even vision problems if left untreated. Entropion is most common in older adults, often as a result of age-related weakening of the eyelid muscles (also known as involutional or senile entropion), but it can also develop from injury, infection, muscle spasms, or be present from birth (congenital entropion). This condition is different from similar issues like trichiasis, where lashes grow inward but the eyelid stays in place. Timely treatment, such as eyelid surgery like canthoplasty, laser canthoplasty, or blepharoplasty, can provide lasting relief while protecting the eye from further damage. South Korea is a top choice for these corrective procedures, thanks to world-class surgeons, advanced technology, and patient-focused care for those seeking solutions to entropion and related eyelid problems.
