=Entropion= is a turning in of the eyelid and =ectropion= is a turning
out. These conditions may be spasmodic and temporary. Entropion is more
often due to cicatricial contraction in old blepharitis or trachoma
conditions. In some cases the condition may be corrected by the use
of strips of adhesive plaster. In cicatricial conditions operation is
the rule. Spasmodic ectropion may be corrected sometimes by curing the
conjunctivitis. Bandaging may be resorted to. In paralytic ectropion
osteopathic treatment may serve to produce a complete cure. Operative
procedure should be a last resort.
