The eyelids are designed to protect the eye. If the eyelids are not in proper position, patients can experience redness, tearing, discomfort and blurry vision. Ectropion is a condition commonly seen where the lower eyelid is loose. The eyelid can dip down exposing the bottom of the cornea. In some patients, the lower lid flips forward exposing the pinkish/red tissue inside the eyelid. Ectropion is treated with a variety of surgical techniques.
