  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ectropion/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20351169

  Ectropion can usually be diagnosed with a routine eye exam and physical. Your doctor may pull on your eyelids during the exam or ask you to close your eyes forcefully. This helps him or her assess each eyelid’s muscle tone and tightness. […] If your ectropion is caused by a scar, tumor, previous surgery or radiation, your doctor will examine the surrounding tissue as well. […] Understanding how other conditions cause ectropion is important in choosing the correct treatment or surgical technique.

  Older adults often present with excessive tearing (epiphora) or dry eyes. Ironically, these seemingly opposite symptoms are often related. Ectropion, or the malposition of the eyelid turning away from the globe, can be the cause of epiphora and dry eyes. […] To prevent lasting damage or further irritation, it is important that any eyelid abnormalities, specifically ectropion, be addressed as soon as possible. […] Specific tests should be used when assessing an ectropion. First, it is a good idea to check the cornea for dryness and tear production. […] Punctal eversion, or a punctum that is visible while the eyelid is resting at its baseline state, usually indicates the presence of a medial ectropion. […] The initial test to assess for eyelid laxity should be the distraction test. […] Eyelid laxity should be further assessed with the snap-back test.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441929/

  Ectropion is an outward turning of the eyelid margin. This typically occurs on the lower eyelids. When the globe is not protected properly, the eye can become very dry. This dryness may lead to symptoms of redness, tearing, and foreign body sensation secondary to exposure of the ocular surface and an inadequate tear film. In extreme cases, the cornea can develop punctate epithelial erosions, ulceration, and permanent vision loss. Management almost always begins with lubrication with artificial tears, gels, and ointments. Surgical repair is commonly needed to improve the function of the eyelid and to protect the globe permanently. This activity reviews the cause and pathophysiology of ectropion and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management. […] A thorough history and physical is required to determine the etiology of lower eyelid ectropion. It is very important to understand if the patient had prior surgery, for example, lower eyelid blepharoplasty, or trauma or cancer excision and repair of the lower eyelid and/or cheek area. A proper history will help guide the clinician as to the etiologic factors and what to look for on examination. The patient should also be asked about any symptoms related to dry eye, eye rubbing, or instability of the eyelids. A full ophthalmic examination is necessary to properly assess the bilateral eyelids as well as the ocular surface and cornea to evaluation for any complications related to the ectropion.

  Ectropion of the eyelid occurs when the lid margin everts or turns away from the eyeball. Lower lid ectropion is a common problem. Patients may complain of irritation or mattering, erythema of the lid margin, or tearing. Three types of lower lid ectropion occur: […] The type and cause of the ectropion are usually obvious from the history and the examination. […] Ectropion is common and easy to diagnose. The mechanisms are understandable, and the cause is recognizable during the history and physical examination. Appropriate treatment can be chosen based on the type of ectropion identified. Surgical correction is successful in most cases. […] The purpose of the physical examination is to identify the presence, location, and severity of the ectropion, as well as the underlying etiology. Any eversion of the lid margin off the eyeball is considered ectropion.

  Medial canthal laxity should also be evaluated. […] The measurement of lateral canthal laxity of an ectropion should also be measured. […] Treatment depends on the type of ectropion. […] The most commonly used surgical technique to tighten the lower eyelid and repair the ectropion is the lateral canthal strengthening procedure. […] Based on this examination, he received a diagnosis of cicatricial ectropion, worse on the right lower lid than on the left lower lid. […] At a follow-up visit 7 weeks after initial presentation, the eyelid had noticeably less outward turning from the globe, less hyperemia, and an overall improved appearance.

• #7 A Clinical Guide to Ectropion

  https://eyesoneyecare.com/resources/clinical-guide-to-ectropion/

  Ectropion can be identified on physical and slit-lamp examination. When the lid margin excursion is greater than 6mm, ectropion is present. The greater the lid excursion, the greater the severity of ectropion. […] Punctal eversion is a clinical sign of medial ectropion. […] Dry eye secondary to punctal eversion is managed with artificial tears or eye ointment. […] The Schirmer/Basal secretion test measures total tear production with special eye strips. […] When the strips show less than 10mm of wetness in 5 minutes, decreased tear production is confirmed. […] Eyelid laxity is another clinical sign of ectropion. […] The distraction test is where the lower eyelid is displaced away from the ocular globe. […] When the distance is 10mm or greater, significant eyelid laxity is present and indicates severe ectropion.

• #8 A Clinical Guide to Ectropion

  Any delay in this indicates eyelid laxity. […] Severe laxity is evident when the eyelid completely fails to reposition itself against the globe even after the patient blinks or it takes more than 10 seconds for the eyelid to return to baseline. […] Ectropion can be categorized as congenital or acquired. […] Involutional ectropion is the most common condition encountered. […] Patients with increased eyelid tissue laxity, but especially horizontal laxity, are likely to develop involutional ectropion. […] Management can begin with conservative therapy. […] Surgical treatments would include lateral canthal strengthening to address the horizontal laxity and medial spindle procedure to correct any medial ectropion if it is present. […] Paralytic ectropion, also known as neurogenic ectropion, isn’t associated with aging and is managed by the length of the episode.

• #9 Practice Pearl of the Week: Entropion and Ectropion

  https://www.reviewofoptometry.com/email/080614_pearl168.html

  Entropion or ectropion often first manifests in a transient fashion meaning that the eyelid will turn inward or outward at times, and then return to a normal position. […] The key to making a diagnosis in these cases is to perform a quick induction test for each condition: […] For ectropion, use a „snap back” test. In this instance, pull the lower eyelid downward, and then let it retract. If the lid is extremely slow to return to a normal position, or it remains stretched out, the patient likely has ectropion.

  The etiology of the ectropion is usually apparent. The first question to ask is Is the ectropion cicatricial? […] If there are no cicatricial changes, ask the question, Is there evidence of facial asymmetry suggesting paralytic ectropion? […] If the ectropion is not cicatricial and not paralytic, it must be involutional. Involutional ectropion occurs in older patients with eyelid laxity. […] The aim of the last portion of the physical examination is to determine what treatment will be required to repair the ectropion. […] In patients with cicatricial ectropion, the position and severity of the scarring should be estimated. […] In patients with involutional ectropion, the effect of lower eyelid tightening can be estimated at the slit lamp. […] For paralytic ectropion, other factors should be considered as discussed above. […] The treatment for floppy eyelid syndrome is horizontal lid tightening of the upper eyelid (usually a pentagonal wedge resection).

  Examination Outline […] Candidates should direct their examination towards determining the: […] Cause of the ectropion […] Potential surgical options to address the ectropion […] Whether any exposure keratopathy is present […] Most ectropion cases in examinations (and clinical practice) will involve the lower lid. Upper lid ectropion is very rare and is usually due to floppy eyelid syndrome and eyelid laxity. Involutional upper lid ectropion can present with punctal ectropion. Cicatricial upper lid ectropion is exceedingly rare. […] This is relevant for determining severity of exposure keratopathy as well as the viability of certain surgical repair options (such as prolonged surgical closure of the lids).

  Ectropion (ek-TROH-pee-on) is a condition in which your eyelid turns outward. This leaves the inner eyelid surface exposed and prone to irritation. […] Artificial tears and lubricating ointments can help relieve symptoms of ectropion. But usually surgery is needed to fully correct the condition. […] See your doctor if your eyes are constantly watering or irritated, or your eyelid seems to be sagging or drooping. […] Ectropion can be caused by: […] Previous eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can cause ectropion, particularly if a considerable amount of skin was removed from the eyelid at the time of surgery. […] Ectropion leaves your cornea irritated and exposed, making it more susceptible to drying. The result can be abrasions and ulcers on the cornea, which can threaten your vision.
