SENILE ECTROPION

“Senile” or involutional ectropion results from age-related laxity or degeneration of eyelid support structures, when your eyelid turns away from your eyeball. Drooping of the eyelid causes exposure of the eyeball causing discomfort, inflammation and dryness due to the inadequate lubrication of the eye.
Ectropion can occur to both the upper or lower eyelid, but most commonly with the lower eyelid.

Line of Treatment:

Lubrication: Artificial tears, gels and ointments can provide immediate relief from dryness and irritation. In some cases, eye lid taping may be done.
Surgery: May be performed with the aim of tightening the lower eye lid.
Home remedies: Use of eye drops as prescribed; use of moisture shield and proper eyelid wiping can help.
Since the elderly are fragile, slower healing, proper pre and post op care and careful follow – ups are essential.
