Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ectropion is a condition in which the lower eyelid turns outward, exposing the inner eyelid and causing eye dryness and corneal abrasions. Surgery to correct the position of the eyelid can help prevent these symptoms. Corrective lenses, UV protective sunglasses, and contact lenses will not address the underlying issue of the eyelid position.
