Eyelid Disorders

Eyelid inflammation can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, allergic reactions, or a combination of these factors.

Ptosis is the medical term for drooping of the upper eyelid, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle weakness, nerve damage, or aging.

Entropion is a condition in which the eyelid margin turns inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the eyeball. This can lead to irritation, pain, and corneal damage.

Ectropion is a condition in which the eyelid margin turns outward, exposing the inner surface of the eyelid. This can lead to dryness, irritation, and infection.

Blepharitis is a common eyelid disorder that involves inflammation of the eyelid margin. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including bacterial infection, skin conditions, and allergies.

Chalazion is a common eyelid tumor that arises from a blocked oil gland. It typically appears as a small, painless bump on the eyelid.
