Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ectropion is a condition where the eyelid turns outward, causing the eye to become exposed and dry. Corrective surgery, such as a lower eyelid tightening procedure, is often the most effective way to treat ectropion and alleviate symptoms like eye dryness and corneal abrasions. Corrective lenses, UV protective sunglasses, and contact lenses may be helpful for other eye conditions but are not effective treatments for ectropion.
