Treatment
The treatment of entropion is not addressed in this article. Rather, we will discuss the treatment of trichiasis in well-positioned eyelid margins, or in lids after entropion correction. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
We report a case of lower lid entropion that may be related to a patient commencing treatment of tamsulosin. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
If the problem persists, the optometrist will refer the patient to the ophthalmologist, who may decide to remove the lashes by electrolysis, cryotherapy (freezing treatment) or laser treatment. [college-optometrists.org]
Treatment is withdrawal of the offending agent ± a short course of mild steroid cream. Atopic dermatitis (eczema). There is thickening, crusting and vertical fissuring of the lids. Treatment is with emollients and mild topical steroid creams. [patient.info]
When ectropion is caused by stretching of the eyelid’s supporting structures, surgery is the best treatment to repair the involved muscle and tendons of the eyelid. [berkseye.com]
Prognosis
When the cause is autoimmune or inflammatory disease, the prognosis is guarded because of frequent disease progression; when the cause is prior surgery or trauma, the prognosis is generally good because the process tends to be localized and reversible [aao.org]
Prognosis : good. Print off the owner factsheet on Entropion Entropion to give to your client. Pathogenesis Predisposing factors General Genetic predisposition in facial conformation and eyelid support. [vetstream.com]
Prognosis is excellent if surgery is performed before the cornea is damaged. [en.wikipedia.org]
It is aggressive and has a poor prognosis with an overall mortality rate of 10% (although 67% in patients with metastases). A history of recurrent presumed chalazion or chronic unilateral blepharoconjunctivitis should raise suspicions. [patient.info]
Etiology
It can also have a spastic etiology secondary to ocular irritation or blepharospasm. In some cases it can be congenital. [filereyemd.com]
