Entropion is a distressing eye condition characterised by the inward turning of the eyelid, which causes eyelashes and skin to rub against the eye. This irritation can lead to discomfort, redness, and even serious damage to the eye’s surface if untreated. If you are seeking to book the best entropion surgery in North West London, Blue Fin Vision® offers expert care from top-rated surgeons and specialists at our private eye clinic located within Chase Lodge Hospital, Barnet. We combine advanced technology with personalised treatment plans to protect your vision and restore comfort.
What Is Entropion? Understanding Eyelid Inward Turning
Entropion of the eye occurs when the eyelid, typically the lower one, turns inward towards the eyeball. This causes eyelashes and skin to constantly graze the cornea and conjunctiva, resulting in:
- Irritation and pain
- Excessive watering or dryness
- Redness and inflammation
- Increased risk of infection or corneal ulcers
Entropion eye North West London patients experience can vary in severity but always requires prompt evaluation to prevent complications.
