How Entropion Repair is performed
This surgery adjusts the eyelid structure to move the eyelashes away from the cornea. Common methods include suture eversion or tarsal/skin-muscle rotation. Usually performed under local or monitored anesthesia, releasing the tissue traction causing entropion, resetting the lower eyelid retractors/tarsal plate and other structures, and performing lateral canthal tightening as needed, followed by fine suture shaping and pressure dressing. Postoperative monitoring of eyelid position, cornea, and wound, with the goal of relieving friction and improving appearance and function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific treatment should be based on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
