Entropion of either lower or upper eyelid is quite common in our clinical practice. The keratinized skin of the eyelid margin and eyelashes rub against the cornea and conjunctiva, causing irritation. Unlike with ectropion, the irritation is troublesome enough so that most patients seek medical treatment early. Upper eyelid entropion is potentially blinding. Distichiasis and Trichiasis also common conditions and often accompany the entropion. One must be able to evaluate all the above-mentioned conditions to choose the most appropriate surgical technique.
