Eye Diseases
Entropion
In contrast to ectropion, entropion is defined as an inward turning of the eyelid. The eyelashes are then in contact with the surface of the eye, which can cause discomfort and irritation. This eye abnormality generally affects older people and the lower eyelid. When left untreated, entropion can cause damage to the cornea. 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 entropion cases.
