This can lead to eyelid drooping or sagging and affect your quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>The activities you once enjoyed may be difficult when your eyes are watery or sore. Reading, driving, socializing with friends, applying makeup and even watching television can lose their appeal when your eyes are uncomfortable. Fortunately, ectropion can be effectively treated.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Let\u2019s first understand what is ectropion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Ectropion is an eyelid condition that causes the eyelid \u2014 most commonly the lower eyelid\u2014 to turn outward or sag.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The outward sagging of the eyelid leads to exposure of the eyelid\u2019s inner surface and a range of uncomfortable symptoms.\u00a0 With severe ectropion, the entire eyelid turns outward, while the less severe forms affect only part of the eyelid.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Symptoms of ectropion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Since ectropion exposes the inner lining of the eyelid, eye irritation, discomfort and a noticeable appearance can impact your quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, ectropion can lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-conditions\/dry-eye\/what-is-dry-eye-syndrome\/\">dry eye symptoms<\/a>, mainly due to diminished tear film quality. In a healthy eye, the tear film covers the surface of the eye to protect the eye from foreign particles, maintain moisture and keep the eye healthy. The tears continuously rehydrate the eye as old tears drain out and new tears are produced.<\/p>\n<p>When the eyelid pulls away from the eye, the tears are unable to effectively drain out of the eye. This can cause excessive tearing, while also producing other uncomfortable symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>The most common signs and symptoms include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Watery eyes<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Dry eyes<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Sore eyes<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Red eyes<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Light sensitivity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\">Contact an eye doctor near you<\/a> if you are experiencing any of the symptoms above or if you notice any changes in your eyelids.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SEE RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-conditions\/dry-eye\/eyelid-conditions\/myokymia-eye-twitch\/\">Myokymia (Eye Twitch)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"practice-search-widget\">\n\t\t<h3>Find an eye doctor near you<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t<form class=\"practice-search-form practice-search-form-widget\" action=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/results\/\" method=\"get\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"page\" class=\"practice-search-page\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_latitude\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_longitude\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"address\" class=\"practice-search-address\" placeholder=\"City, Surburb or Address\" value=\"\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<button type=\"submit\" class=\"practice-search-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"19\" height=\"19\" viewBox=\"0 0 19 19\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.6796 0.130005C9.15708 0.130059 7.66615 0.5646 6.38198 1.38258C5.09781 2.20057 4.07373 3.36803 3.43004 4.74783C2.78634 6.12763 2.54976 7.66246 2.74808 9.17205C2.9464 10.6816 3.57139 12.1033 4.54964 13.27L0.729639 17.08C0.6364 17.1732 0.562439 17.2839 0.511979 17.4058C0.461519 17.5276 0.435547 17.6581 0.435547 17.79C0.435547 17.9219 0.461519 18.0524 0.511979 18.1743C0.562439 18.2961 0.6364 18.4068 0.729639 18.5C0.917942 18.6883 1.17334 18.7941 1.43964 18.7941C1.5715 18.7941 1.70207 18.7681 1.82389 18.7177C1.94571 18.6672 2.0564 18.5932 2.14964 18.5L5.99964 14.62C7.35406 15.6038 8.98566 16.1324 10.6596 16.13C12.7814 16.13 14.8162 15.2871 16.3165 13.7869C17.8168 12.2866 18.6596 10.2517 18.6596 8.13C18.6596 6.00827 17.8168 3.97344 16.3165 2.47315C14.8162 0.97286 12.7814 0.130005 10.6596 0.130005H10.6796ZM10.6796 14.13C9.49295 14.13 8.33291 13.7781 7.34622 13.1188C6.35952 12.4595 5.59049 11.5225 5.13636 10.4261C4.68224 9.32975 4.56342 8.12335 4.79493 6.95946C5.02644 5.79558 5.59788 4.72648 6.437 3.88736C7.27611 3.04825 8.34521 2.4768 9.5091 2.24529C10.673 2.01378 11.8794 2.1326 12.9757 2.58673C14.0721 3.04085 15.0092 3.80989 15.6685 4.79658C16.3277 5.78328 16.6796 6.94332 16.6796 8.13C16.6796 9.7213 16.0475 11.2474 14.9223 12.3726C13.7971 13.4979 12.2709 14.13 10.6796 14.13Z\" fill=\"#fff\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"practice-search-use-my-location\">\n\t\t\tSearch near me\n\t\t<\/button>\n\n\n\t<\/form>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<h2><b>What causes ectropion?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Ectropion can develop from a number of different causes, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eyelid muscle weakness from aging.<\/b> This is the most common cause.
