Commonly treated eyelid problems.
Eyelids are crucial to the health of one's eyes.
Just as an automobile's windshield wiper keeps your view clear, eyelids go to work every 2 to 10 seconds to keep our vision clear. If there is a malfunction, whether it be simple or complex, there is often a component of blurred or abnormal vision. This term means that one or more of the eyelids is abnormally rotated outward. Ectropion is caused by trauma, aging changes, infections, and tumors. When the eyelid is not apposed to the eyeball, the natural cleansing of the eye cannot occur.
