ENTROPION

Entropion refers to the condition where the eyelid margin rolls inward towards the eye. As a result, the eyelashes constantly rub against the cornea (the front transparent part of the eye) and the conjunctiva (the membrane that lines the eye), sometimes damaging these structures. The lower eyelid is most commonly involved. 

Surgery is usually required to tighten the lower eyelid and its attachments. If you need to delay surgery, lubricating eyedrops and ointments can help to alleviate symptoms.
