How Entropion Correction is performed
The surgical plan is selected based on the cause of entropion. A common procedure involves making an incision and separating the tissue near the eyelid margin under local anesthesia, folding or reconstructing the lower eyelid retractor, and using everting sutures to restore the eyelashes to an outward direction. At the same time, lateral canthal tightening or mucous membrane transplantation may be performed to correct scar contracture if necessary. Postoperative focus is on observing corneal abrasion, tear film stability, and eyelash direction, with the goal of reducing eyelash friction and protecting the ocular surface. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
