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.
Ectropion of eyelid - Prevention
Ectropion of the eyelid can be prevented by practicing good hygiene, avoiding contact with people who have an eye infection, and using proper protective eyewear when engaging in activities that may cause irritation or injury to the eyelid. additionally, regular eye exams should be performed to ensure early detection and treatment of any abnormality.
