Ectropion & Entropion Surgery

Ectropion and entropion surgery restores the normal position of the eyelid, protecting the eye and relieving ongoing irritation.

What Is Ectropion & Entropion Surgery? 

This surgery corrects eyelid malposition: 

  • Ectropion – outward turning of the eyelid  
  • Entropion – inward turning of the eyelid  

These conditions can lead to irritation, tearing and damage to the cornea if left untreated.

What Conditions Does It Treat?

Surgery is used when patients experience: 

  • Chronic irritation or redness  
  • Excessive tearing  
  • Corneal exposure or damage  
  • Infection or scarring risk  

In more severe cases, surgery is essential to prevent vision loss.

The Procedure

Surgery typically involves tightening and repositioning the eyelid structures to restore normal alignment. 

It is performed as a day procedure with a focus on both function and minimal visible scarring.

Outcomes

Most patients experience rapid relief of symptoms, with restoration of comfort and protection of the eye surface.
