If Ectropion is left untreated, it can lead to severe problems, and in some cases, can even cause blindness. Certain types of Ectropion turn the eyelid outward, exposing the cornea and causing it to develop sores. It will prevent proper drainage of tears and can lead to permanent vision damage if not treated. Leaving Ectropion untreated can cause severe discomfort, chronic infections, and excessive mucus and tear production.
What is the Recovery Time For Ectropion Eye Surgery?
Eyelid Malposition Treatment is a surgical treatment that provides a long-term solution for Ectropion. The recovery duration is 7-14 days, and lubrication drops or ointment may be provided before the procedure to provide temporary relief. Eyelid Reconstruction may be necessary to release the muscle causing the problem. The recovery duration is 10-14 days for bruising and inflammation to subside entirely, and patients may need to wear an eyepatch for 24 hours after surgery.
