Entropion Repair in Chicago

Entropion can cause both physical problems and cosmetic concerns at the same time. But the condition rarely goes away on its own. That is why Chicago Oculofacial Consultants is proud to offer our patients the option for entropion repair in Chicago.

What Is Entropion?

Entropion is a medical condition where the eyelid margin turns inward, forcing the eyelashes to rub against the eyeball. This can cause severe irritation and discomfort, leading to a number of symptoms. It might start out small and gradually increase, creating more noticeable symptoms and physical changes along the way. In general, we recommend treating it sooner rather than later to avoid the potential risk that it can cause down the road. If it becomes severe enough, it can even damage the eye's surface, putting its health at risk.

Entropion Repair Overview

In entropion repair surgery, our eye doctor will make small incisions in your upper or lower eyelids (as needed) and then carefully reposition them to ensure they rest naturally. This helps to prevent the eyelashes from rubbing against the eyeball, ultimately reducing discomfort and improving quality of life.

The entropion repair surgery is typically done with a local anesthetic, which means our patients will remain conscious during the procedure. We ensure that you are kept fully comfortable throughout the procedure nonetheless. The entire process can take about one hour, though this varies depending on your unique situation and eyelid structures.

If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.
