Three of the most common eyelid malpositions we treat. Each affects the eye differently, and each is corrected surgically once the cause is confirmed.
Can block vision and cause a tired look; children need early assessment to protect sight.
Lashes rub the eye, causing pain, redness and surface damage.
The eye dries and waters, with irritation and exposure.
All three are corrected with day-care eyelid surgery under local anaesthesia, tailored to the cause. Ptosis is repaired by tightening or reattaching the lifting muscle; entropion and ectropion are corrected by tightening and repositioning the eyelid so it sits correctly against the eye.
Adults usually recover within one to two weeks. In children, ptosis needs timely assessment because a lid covering the pupil can affect visual development.
