Plastic Eyelid Surgery
Possible
Diagnosis
1. Entropion (eyelid rolled
in)
2. Medial Entropion
3. Ectropion (eyelid rolled out)
4. Drooping upper eyelid
5. Eyelid tumour
6. Oversized Eyelid Openings Treatment
* Plastic
surgery techniques and the operating microscope are used to correct
eyelid problems with minimal scarring.
* As eyelid
position must be exact, it may be necessary for further surgery
to follow. This is mainly a concern with entropion.
Possible
Complications
1. Irritation
2. Dry eye
3. Corneal ulcers
4. Conjunctivitis
Eyelid disease
can cause scarring on the eyeball and or conjunctivitis. In many
cases the eyelid surgery is enough to allow these changes to resolve.
However some cases may require drops, injections and tablets to
control the reaction to the eyelid disease.
