Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Ectropion, or eyelid eversion, is the most frequent eyelid malposition.
  • It compromises the eyelid's protective function, leading to epiphora, lagophthalmos, keratinization, and ocular surface disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review eyelid anatomy and examination techniques for ectropion.
  • To guide the selection of surgical repair based on the primary pathogenic component.

Main Methods:

  • Review of basic eyelid anatomy.
  • Description of examination techniques for risk assessment, prevention, and pathogenic component identification.

Main Results:

  • Ectropion impairs eyelid function, causing various ocular complications.
  • Five types of ectropion exist: congenital, paralytic, involutional, cicatricial, and mechanical.
  • Involutional ectropion with mechanical or tractional elements is common in dermatology.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of the pathogenic component is essential for successful ectropion repair.
  • Tailoring surgical techniques to the specific cause improves outcomes.
  • Eyelid examination is key to preventing and managing ectropion effectively.
