Excessive Tearing   |   Thyroid Related Eye Disease   |   Orbital Tumors   |   Lid turned in or out   |   Blepharoptosis or droopy eyelid   |   Skin Cancers   |   Loss of an Eye   |   Fractures   |   Trauma   |   Birth Defects   |   Blepharospasm
Lid turned in or out
The patient pictured below has a right lower eyelid entropion, or a rolling inward of the eyelid margin. This results in the eyelashes rubbing the eye, and is very irritating to the eye. Surgery is the best treatment, with a successful repair achieved by Dr. Hawes 95% of the time after one operation.


The patient below has both lower lids turned outward. This is an example of a lower lid ectropion, which also predisposes the eye to irritation and infections, and is treated with surgery.
