Entropion treatment in Benito Juárez

Entropion is a condition of the eyelid in which the edge turns inward, so that the eyelashes and skin rub against the surface of the eye. This continuous contact can irritate the cornea and conjunctiva.

How it presents: a foreign-body sensation, redness, tearing, discomfort with light, and the impression of having something scraping the eye.

When to seek care? If the irritation is constant or vision is affected, addressing it prevents damage to the ocular surface.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who evaluates entropion and the health of the eyelid and the eye; the general practitioner can guide a first visit. If you notice persistent discomfort in the eye, it is worth having a professional examine the eyelid and determine how to proceed.
