Abstract:
Spastic entropion is an acute eyelid condition seen in patients with acute inflammatory ocular conditions. It has been reported after cataract surgery. We describe three cases of spastic entropion after cataract surgery that did not resolve after the ocular irritation subsided. All were associated with eyelid and/or cul-de-sac injection of antibiotics and corticosteroids or anesthetic solution. All had dehiscence of the capsulopalpebral fascia. Spastic entropion is an evolving stage toward permanent entropion.
