About Entropion

Entropion repair is a surgical procedure performed by an ophthalmologist to correct an inward turning of the eyelid, most commonly the lower lid. This condition causes the eyelashes and skin to rub against the cornea and conjunctiva, leading to significant irritation, redness, excessive tearing, and a risk of corneal abrasions, ulcers, and vision impairment. The surgery aims to restore the eyelid's normal anatomical position by tightening the lid and its supporting structures. Techniques vary based on the cause and severity, including suture placement, skin removal, or muscle repositioning. It is a highly effective outpatient procedure that provides lasting relief from discomfort and protects ocular health.

Congenital entropion present from birth (less common).
Persistent corneal irritation, abrasion, or recurrent eye infections.

How to prepare

Comprehensive eye examination by an ophthalmologist to confirm diagnosis and plan surgery.

Pre-operative tests as advised, which may be minimal for healthy patients.

Discussing anesthesia options (local with sedation is common) and post-op care plan.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding, bruising, or swelling at the surgical site.
Infection, though rare with proper sterile technique.
Reaction to local or general anesthesia.
Under-correction or recurrence of the entropion.
Over-correction leading to a slight outward turning (ectropion).

Recovery & hospital stay

Eye will be covered with a patch for the first day; use prescribed antibiotic ointment/drops.

Avoid rubbing, straining, heavy lifting, or bending over for 1-2 weeks.
Keep the eye area clean and dry; avoid swimming and hot tubs for 2-3 weeks.
Use artificial tears as recommended to soothe the eye.
Attend all follow-up appointments for suture removal (if non-dissolvable) and progress checks.
Most normal activities can be resumed within a week, but full healing takes several weeks.
