Does Entropion Go Away

But if tissue scarring has occurred, entropion may persist even after the other condition has been treated. Surgery is generally required to fully correct entropion, but short-term fixes can be useful if you can’t tolerate surgery or you have to delay it.

Why does entropion happen?

Entropion occurs most commonly as a result of aging. By age, the tendons and muscles that hold your eyelid taut against your eye stretches out and your eyelid starts to turn in. Previous surgeries, burns, trauma, infection, inflammation and birth defects are other causes of entropion.

What is an entropion surgery?

An entropion or ectropion repair is an operation to correct an eyelid that turns in or turns out. The operation should improve symptoms caused by entropion or ectropion.
