Entropian

Entropion occurs when one eyelid bends inward the eye. This condition causes the skin of the eyelids and eyelashes to rub against the eyeballs. This friction often causes discomfort and irritation of the cornea. Entropion is treated surgically and medically in several ways. It is important to lubricate the eyes with ointments and artificial tears to moisturize and relieve discomfort. The tape can also be used to temporarily reposition the eyelids.
