Treatment options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" translation-block\"><strong>Conservative treatment<\/strong>: In mild cases, the use of <strong>artificial tears<\/strong> or <strong>anti-inflammatory medications<\/strong> may help to relieve symptoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" translation-block\"><strong>Surgery<\/strong>: The most effective treatment is a surgical procedure that corrects the eyelid to turn it outward. This prevents further damage to the eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In cases where entropion is the result of an underlying condition, it may be necessary to treat that condition first to resolve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Complications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">If left untreated, entropion can lead to <strong>corneal damage<\/strong>, infections, and eventually <strong>permanent vision<\/strong> loss.
