Eyelid detachment, also known as eyelid protrusion - medically referred to as ectropion. This anomaly is the result of a successive process of eyelid atrophy (usually the lower eyelid). The resulting defect is not merely an aesthetic affliction. As a result of constant irritation of the eyeball by the eyelashes - among other things - corneal irritation can occur. Treatment is based on the principle of surgical eyelid correction.
