“If you’ve been diagnosed with an entropion or an ectropion, your lower eyelid will be in a different position to the normal one.
In an ectropion, it tends to be falling out away from the eye and in an entropion, it’s turning back in towards the eye, meaning that the cornea, the main seeing part of the eye, might be irritated by the eyelashes.
The ectropion means that the cornea might be exposed to air and not covered enough with the protective lower eyelid, which can give you corneal ulceration.
Either of those malpositions should be seen by a specialist oculoplastic surgeon such as myself.”
