Abstract

The stability of the human eyelid is affected by anatomic components, such as the orbicularis oculi muscle or lower-eyelid retractors. If destabilization of the eyelid position results in the inward rotation of the eyelid margin, this is known as entropion. The causes of destabilization of eyelid position can differ, and as such the therapeutic surgical interventions are modified to treat the varying types of entropion.
