What happens during the disease - ectropion of eyelid

Ectropion of the eyelid is a condition in which the eyelid is turned outward and away from the eye, resulting in the eyelid being unable to close properly. this can be caused by either age-related laxity of the eyelid muscles, trauma, or congenital deformities. it can also be a result of chronic inflammation and scarring of the eyelid, such as from blepharitis or trachoma. the outward turning of the eyelid can cause irritation, dryness, and light sensitivity due to exposure of the eye to the environment. it can also lead to tearing and infection if not treated.
