Congenital entropion - what does this mean
Congenital entropion is a condition in which the eyelids are abnormally turned inwards, causing the eyelashes to rub against the eye and causing irritation. it is often caused by a lack of elasticity in the eyelid skin, which can be present at birth or develop over time.
What happens during the disease - congenital entropion
Congenital entropion is a condition in which the eyelid margin is inverted inward, resulting in eyelashes rubbing against the cornea and conjunctiva. it is caused by a combination of structural abnormalities in the eyelid, such as an abnormally short eyelid, weak eyelid muscles, or laxity of the skin, as well as a lack of eyelid tone. this can cause inflammation, irritation, and excessive tearing, and can lead to corneal ulceration and vision loss if not treated.

- Diagnostic imaging tests such as ultrasound or CT scans to check for any structural abnormalities
- Genetic testing to determine the cause of the condition
- Blood tests to check for any underlying health issues
- Tear film analysis to assess the tear production and quality
