What is entropion?

Entropion happens when your eyelid turns inward toward your eyeball. This condition causes your eyelid skin and eyelashes to rub against your eye. The friction often causes discomfort and irritation to your cornea (front of your eye).

Entropion usually occurs in your lower eyelid, and it can occur on one side or both (bilateral entropion). If it’s not treated, it can damage your cornea and lead to vision loss.
