Entropion at
The Eye Care & Surgery Center in New Jersey

Entropion is an abnormal in turning of the eyelid. When this occurs, the eyelashes and the skin of the eyelid can rub against the surface of the eyeball and cornea and cause serious damage. The irritation caused by this problem can be quite significant. There are several causes of entropion. The most common cause is simply a laxity of the lower eyelid as the aging process and effects of gravity occur. Specialized muscles may loosen or weaken, allowing the eyelid to maintain an abnormal position. Most of the time, correction of this problem requires a simple same-day surgical technique. Other causes of entropion include certain conditions which cause scarring of the conjunctiva, chronic use of certain topical medications, some Chemotherapy, burns and injury. These causes may require specialized techniques. Ask Dr. Thiagarajah about any specialized eyelid problems.
