## Entropion & Ectropion Repair

Ectropion is a condition where the eyelid turns outward, resulting in tearing, eye discomfort, and/or irritation. Entropion is where the eyelid turns inward, causing the eyelashes and skin to rub against the eye.

There are several ways to treat these conditions depending on the etiology and compliance of the eyelid tissue. Lubrication of the cornea can be a temporizing measure until surgery can correct the eyelid contour.

The eyelid area is numbed with local anesthetic or light sedation. The lateral eyelid can be tightened; skin grafts or posterior lid reconstruction may be needed depending on clinical findings.

### How It Works

Surgical correction is an outpatient procedure that typically takes 30 to 60 minutes under IV anesthesia. The goal is to tighten or reposition the eyelid for improved function and comfort.

### Risks & Side Effects

Risks are rare but may include temporary swelling, bruising, slight asymmetry (which can often be corrected), or infection. Dr. Rosh uses advanced techniques to minimize risks.
