What causes entropion?

Lower eyelid looseness (laxity) usually causes entropion. Scarring can also cause your lid to turn inward (cicatricle entropion). Entropion is common in adults over the age of 60 because their eyelid supports weaken with age, allowing their eyelid muscles to turn their eyelids in. Other causes of an in-turned eyelid include an eye injury, infection or previous eye surgery.
