Ectropion

A normal and healthy lower eyelid should be in contact with the eyeball. Ectropion is defined as an outward drooping, or eversion, of the eyelid margin. When ectropion is present, the eyelid is turned outwards and can no longer adequately protect the eye. This condition generally affects older people. Artificial tears and ointments can be used to temporarily relieve symptoms.

You should know that Bellevue clinics have all the latest technologies available to diagnose and monitor ectropion cases.
