Eyelids play a crucial role in protecting our eyes from dust, debris, and excessive light. They also help maintain eye lubrication through blinking. However, sometimes, the eyelids can malfunction, turning either outward (ectropion) or inward (entropion). These conditions can cause discomfort, irritation, and even damage to the eye. If you're in the Tampa Bay area and experiencing these issues, oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Geoffrey Kwitko can help.
Ectropion occurs when the lower eyelid turns outward, away from the eye. This exposes the delicate inner lining of the eyelid (conjunctiva), making it vulnerable to dryness, irritation, and infection. Common symptoms of ectropion include:
Several factors can contribute to ectropion, including:
Entropion is the opposite of ectropion. In this condition, the lower eyelid turns inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the eye's surface (cornea and conjunctiva). This can be very painful and lead to corneal damage if left untreated. Symptoms of entropion include:
Entropion can be caused by:
Dr. Kwitko will conduct a thorough eye examination to diagnose ectropion or entropion and determine the underlying cause. He will then recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
