  If the animal has corneal ulcers, those will need to be treated too. Untreated corneal ulcers may scar excessively, impairing vision. Treatment will reduce the incidence of scarring. Treatment usually involves the use of antibiotic ophthalmic ointment. (To administer ophthalmic ointment, place your thumb directly below the eyelid and very gently push, which will cause the lower eyelid to pull away from the eye. Put the ointment in the opened lower lid.) […] Young puppies generally have only a minor procedure called lid tacking rather than the full blepharoplasty. Permanent surgery like the blepharoplasty isnt typically done in puppies that are less than 6 months old because it’s not possible to predict what the animal’s adult head conformation will be, and the full surgery may not be needed. In lid tacking, temporary sutures are used to roll out the eyelids and keep the puppies’ eyes healthy until they mature and grow into their adult facial features. Entropion can be seen in Chinese Shar Peis as young as two or three weeks old, and these puppies do quite well with the temporary eyelid tacking.

  Correction of a persistent entropion is essential for maintaining corneal integrity and preventing vision loss. Most entropion cases are managed surgically for a permanent repair of the eyelid margin. Nonsurgical medical treatments are an option either while the patient awaits surgical repair or for patients who are poor candidates for surgery. […] To avoid symptoms of irritation, immediate relief can be achieved with the use of topical lubricating ointments and bandage contact lenses to help create a barrier between the ocular surface and the entropic eyelid margin rubbing against the eye. Entropion can be managed temporarily by taping the eyelid margin so that the eyelashes no longer contact the globe or by epilating the inturned eyelashes with forceps. […] Another temporary entropion treatment is botulinum toxin injections. The injections block the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, causing muscle weakness. These injections provide relief for approximately 3 to 4 months by weakening the protractors of the eyelid. […] Ultimately, surgery is required to resolve the condition. Outcomes of the surgery are typically good and can significantly improve the patients quality of life.

  Do your eyelids turn inward? If so, you may have entropion. Entropion is an eye condition that causes the eyelids to turn in a way that forces the skin and lashes to rub against the cornea.

  https://patient.info/eye-care/watering-eyes-epiphora/entropion

  An entropion occurs where your eyelid turns towards the eye. Taping the eyelid to your cheek, lubricant eye ointment and sometimes botulinum toxin injections help to control symptoms. People often require surgery if the problem persists. […] If the cause is likely to be temporary, such as an infection or minor injury, the following may be enough until the condition recovers: Taping the eyelid to your cheek; or Injecting the muscles of your eyelid with botulinum toxin. […] Lubricating eye ointment is often prescribed in the meantime to protect the front of your eye (cornea). […] If you have a condition which is unlikely to recover by itself, you will be offered surgery. A small operation is performed to turn the eyelid back to its normal position. This stops the eyelashes from rubbing on the eye. The operation is usually successful and prevents any further damage to the front of the eye.
