Eyelid Disorders
What Are Eyelid Disorders?
Eyelid disorders, like entropion and ectropion, can be irritating and affect your eye health. When your eyelids turn inward or outward, it triggers inflammation on the eye’s surface, resulting in significant discomfort. Thankfully, at IC Laser Eye Care and Suburban Eye Associates, you can consult with professionals specializing in oculoplastic procedures to help correct this issue.

How Are Eyelid Disorders Treated?
At IC Laser Eye Care and Suburban Eye Associates, our team offers an outpatient surgical approach designed to reshape the lid, providing enduring comfort. Through a gentle, tailored surgical procedure, we restore the natural curvature of your eyelid to its regular position. To alleviate symptoms until your surgery, we may prescribe eye drops. Entropion and ectropion oculoplastic surgeries are performed under local anesthesia on one or both eyelids and typically last 30 – 60 minutes. A small portion of the eyelid where the tissue is most slackened may need to be removed, or we may need to utilize a skin graft if tight skin or scar tissue is the root cause. Rest assured, your treatment plan is personalized to address your unique needs.
What Are the Symptoms of Eyelid Disorders?
Eyelid disorders, like entropion or ectropion, can cause a wide range of symptoms, like discomfort and eye irritation. Although the symptoms of eyelid disorders can range from patient to patient, these conditions present several common symptoms. Some of the most likely symptoms include:
- Redness
- Impaired vision
- Sensitivity to light and wind
- Excessive tearing
- Ocular surface irritation and itching
- Mucus discharge
