  Entropion is an inversion or inward turning of the eyelid margin. This can result in trichiasis, where the eyelashes are directed posteriorly toward the globe. It is one of the most common eyelid malpositions. This malposition can cause corneal and conjunctival damage leading to corneal abrasions, scarring, corneal thinning, or corneal neovascularization. Entropion may be unilateral or bilateral. There are four types of entropion: congenital, involutional, acute spastic, and cicatricial. Lower eyelids are often involutional while the upper eyelid is cicatricial. Lower eyelid entropion is much more common than upper eyelid entropion. […] The older an individual is, the greater the chances of developing an entropion. Bilateral disease is three times more common than unilateral. Entropion is thought to occur more frequently in women than men, as women tend to have smaller tarsal plates than men.

• #1 Entropion and Ectropion Eye Issues – Symptoms Causes and Effective Care

  https://neoretina.com/blog/entropion-and-ectropion-eye-issues-symptoms-care/

  The chronic irritation from the rubbing eyelashes leads to inflammation of the affected eye. This inflammation manifests as redness due to dilated blood vessels in the conjunctiva (the thin membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids). Swelling, or oedema, can also occur in the eyelid itself, causing it to appear puffy and inflamed. This redness and swelling can further contribute to discomfort and may interfere with the normal functioning of the eye. […] In response to the irritation caused by entropion, the eye may produce an increased amount of tears in an attempt to flush out irritants and keep the cornea moist. This excessive tearing can result in a constant watery discharge that might spill over the eyelids and cause a wet or teary appearance. Additionally, a sticky or purulent discharge may develop if the irritation leads to a secondary bacterial infection. This discharge can cause crusting around the eyelid margins, further exacerbating discomfort and hygiene concerns.

  Entropion is a condition related to an altered position of the eyelid whereby the eyelid rim, where the eyelashes reside, is introflected (turns inward) and the eyelashes go scratchy on the cornea. […] „To the naked eye the eyelid appears shorter and chubbier than usual and the eye very reddened, in addition to a very noticeable subjective sensation of discomfort complained of by sufferers. […] At first there is a sense of: annoyance, discomfort, redness of the eye. […] Later, this disorder can result in corneal lesions, actual ulcers that, in addition to being very painful, can lead to infection from which corneal transparency or a corneal abscess can result,” as Dr. Valeri explains. […] The effectiveness of the intervention in some cases is not definitive: sometimes the laxity is such that the problem may recur over time. In fact, the eye cavity regresses as age progresses, and the periorbital fat is worn away leading to an unavoidable clinical condition known as enophthalmos, or dimpling of the eye game. No longer having the push of the eye, therefore, the eyelid turns inward.

  The chronic irritation from the rubbing eyelashes leads to inflammation of the affected eye. This inflammation manifests as redness due to dilated blood vessels in the conjunctiva (the thin membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids). Swelling, or oedema, can also occur in the eyelid itself, causing it to appear puffy and inflamed. This redness and swelling can further contribute to discomfort and may interfere with the normal functioning of the eye. […] In response to the irritation caused by entropion, the eye may produce an increased amount of tears in an attempt to flush out irritants and keep the cornea moist. This excessive tearing can result in a constant watery discharge that might spill over the eyelids and cause a wet or teary appearance. Additionally, a sticky or purulent discharge may develop if the irritation leads to a secondary bacterial infection. This discharge can cause crusting around the eyelid margins, further exacerbating discomfort and hygiene concerns.

  The irritation and damage to the corneal surface can lead to increased sensitivity to light, known as photophobia. The cornea is a key component in focusing light onto the retina, and when it is irritated or damaged, it can become overly sensitive to light exposure. This sensitivity can result in discomfort or pain when exposed to bright lights or sunlight, making everyday activities like reading or driving difficult. Photophobia often accompanies the other symptoms and can significantly impact your overall quality of life. […] Both entropion and ectropion can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly.
