Eyelid Disorders

We treat a range of eyelid conditions including drooping eyelids (ptosis), in-turning or out-turning eyelids, and eyelid lesions. Whether the concern is functional or cosmetic, we are here to help. Our clinic addresses functional and aesthetic problems such as entropion, ectropion, chalazia, styes, chronic lid inflammation (blepharitis), benign or malignant lesions, and blepharoplasty (eyelid tuck).

Eyelid Disorders

Understanding Eyelid Disorders

The eyelids protect the eyes and maintain moisture with every blink. When they become inflamed, misaligned, or develop lesions, both comfort and vision may be affected.

Common Conditions:

  • Entropion (inward-turning eyelid)
  • Ectropion (outward-turning eyelid)
  • Chalazia and styes
  • Chronic lid inflammation (blepharitis)
  • Benign or malignant eyelid lesions

 

What Causes Eyelid Problems?

Eyelid conditions may result from aging, infection, inflammation, blocked glands, or skin changes. Some issues are functional; others may be cosmetic or related to tumors.

How Eyelid Disorders Are Treated

Treatment is determined by cause and severity. Options include medications, warm compresses, in office procedures, or surgery such as blepharoplasty or surgeries to correct eyelid position or remove growths.

Glaucoma is a progressive condition affecting the optic nerve, often developing silently without early warning signs. If you have been referred to our center for an assessment, our team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation using state-of-the-art diagnostic technology. We will discuss our findings clearly, map out what to expect, and design a personalized management plan tailored to your lifestyle.
