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.

Cicatricial entropion caused by scarring from trauma, burns, or diseases like ocular pemphigoid.
Spastic entropion resulting from chronic eye inflammation or irritation.
Congenital entropion present from birth (less common).
Persistent corneal irritation, abrasion, or recurrent eye infections.
Significant discomfort, tearing, or blurred vision interfering with daily activities.

How to prepare

Comprehensive eye examination by an ophthalmologist to confirm diagnosis and plan surgery.
Review of medical history and current medications; may need to temporarily stop blood thinners.
Pre-operative tests as advised, which may be minimal for healthy patients.
Arranging for transportation home after the procedure, as driving is not permitted.
Avoiding food and drink for a few hours before surgery if sedation is planned.
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).
Asymmetry in eyelid appearance or contour.
Scarring, though eyelid scars typically heal well and are discreet.
Temporary or, very rarely, permanent changes in eyelid sensation.

Recovery & hospital stay

Eye will be covered with a patch for the first day; use prescribed antibiotic ointment/drops.
Apply cold compresses gently to reduce swelling and bruising for the first 48 hours.
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.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for initial recovery, 4-6 weeks for full healing

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
