Treatment of eye and eyelid diseases

Eyelid inversion is an anomaly in the position of the eyelids, in which the edge of the eyelid and eyelashes are directed towards the eyeball. The inversion may be a consequence of a burn or injury to the eyelids or eyes, the cause of its development in this case is cicatricial deformity or conjunctival deficiency of the eyelids. In the place where the eyelashes touch the eyeball, conjunctival irritation and swelling occur, chronic conjunctivitis. In the future, due to corneal injury, keratopathy, pinpoint erosion of the cornea, corneal dystrophy, and even, in advanced situations, ulcerative keratitis, followed by the formation of an eyesore.

Ptosis – omission of the upper eyelid. The most common cause of ptosis is weakness or underdevelopment of the upper eyelid lifting muscle. Depending on the degree of ptosis, the edge of the upper eyelid may be located above the pupil, to the middle of the pupil, or completely cover the pupil. Sometimes a neurologist's consultation is required to rule out neurological causes of ptosis. Treatment depends on the causes of this pathology.
