Ectropion, an outward turning of the eyelid margin, is increasingly common in older adults. This review covers its classification and subtypes, focusing on the prevalent involutional type.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oculoplastics

Background:

  • Ectropion involves the outward turning of the eyelid margin, most commonly the lower eyelid.
  • The prevalence of ectropion is rising, particularly in an aging global population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive clinical overview of ectropion.
  • To detail the classification and subtypes of ectropion.

Main Methods:

  • This is a clinical review.
  • Information is synthesized from existing literature on ectropion.

Main Results:

  • Ectropion is classified as acquired or congenital, with acquired being more common.
  • Acquired ectropion subtypes include involutional, paralytic, mechanical, and cicatricial.

  • Involutional ectropion is the most frequent subtype and affects all patient populations equally.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding ectropion's classification and subtypes is crucial for effective management.
    • The increasing incidence highlights the need for awareness and treatment options for this condition.
