Laxity of eyelid tendons combined with the weakening of muscles with age commonly cause ectropion eye, although it may occur from trauma, scarring, infection, tumors, previous surgeries, or radiation. Certain medical conditions can manifest into droopy eyelids, or they can be caused by aging. The most common cause of ectropion eye is muscle tissue weakening over time with aging.
How is Ectropion Eye Diagnosed?
Ectropion eye can be diagnosed with the eyelid drooping or sagging away from the eye and exposing the surface of the eye. It can be diagnosed with a routine eye exam or physical where the eyelid muscle is assessed by a doctor. During consultations with physicians, patients undergo extensive evaluations to ensure they are suitable candidates for eyelid surgery. A customized plan will be developed to treat the patient through the removal or repositioning of herniated fat tissue, reduction of excess skin, or a combination of both.
