Pristyn Care in Delhi offers advanced treatments for ectropion, a condition where the eyelid turns outwards. This can cause discomfort and lead to eye issues if not treated.
Blepharoplasty is a surgery designed to correct the position of the eyelid. During the procedure, excess skin is removed or the muscles are tightened to ensure the eyelid sits properly against the eye. It is particularly helpful for those whose eyelids have sagged or drooped due to age-related changes. The aim is to provide a long-lasting solution that improves both the function and appearance of the eyelid, helping to reduce symptoms like dryness and tearing. The surgery is carried out under local anaesthesia, which means recovery is quick and discomfort is minimal.
An eyelid lift is another surgical option for treating ectropion. This procedure tightens the affected eyelid to stop it from sagging outward. It’s especially helpful for people with involutional ectropion, which happens due to ageing. By strengthening the eyelid structure, the surgery helps restore both the function and appearance of the eye. Most patients experience a quick recovery and notice significant improvements in comfort and vision once they have healed.
Eyelid skin grafting involves using skin from another part of your body to repair and support the eyelid. This procedure is especially helpful for cases of cicatricial ectropion, where scarring has caused the eyelid to pull away from its normal position. By using a graft to lengthen the affected area, doctors can restore proper alignment and function of the eyelid. Performed with precision, this surgery helps reduce irritation and prevents further damage to the eye.
Canthoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at tightening and repositioning the corner of the eye, where the upper and lower eyelids meet. It addresses issues such as eyelid laxity by reinforcing the surrounding tissues, ensuring they fit securely against the eyeball. This technique is particularly effective for treating involutional or mechanical ectropion, providing a lasting solution with minimal recovery time. Following the procedure, patients often experience improved eye health and comfort, significantly relieving symptoms such as irritation or dryness.

Ectropion happens when the lower eyelid droops and turns outward. This can lead to dry eyes and irritation, making your eyes feel uncomfortable.
Ectropion usually occurs due to stretching of the eyelid with age, injuries, or scars, which affect the muscles keeping the eyelid in place.
Doctors diagnose ectropion through a simple eye check-up. They look for symptoms like irritation and too much tearing in your eyes.
For mild cases, using artificial tears or lubricating gels can help ease the dryness and irritation without needing surgery.
Severe cases may need surgery to tighten the eyelid and set it back in its proper place for lasting relief.
