Ectropion

Ectropion is a common eyelid condition in older people due to weakening of the delicate muscles of the eyelids. This causes the lower eyelid to droop away from the eye and leaves the inner surface of the eyelid exposed, which makes it sore and vulnerable to infection. The eye itself is also vulnerable to infection as it is not sufficiently protected by the eyelid. Both sides are commonly equally affected and often at the same time.

Diagnosis and treatment is fairly straightforward.
