Eyelid abnormalities can affect vision, eye protection, and overall ocular health. These conditions may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired due to aging, trauma, infections, or underlying medical conditions. At Yashoda Nethralaya, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and advanced treatment options to restore both function and aesthetics of the eyelids.

Common Eyelid Abnormalities We Treat

1. Ptosis (Droopy Eyelid): A condition where the upper eyelid droops over the eye, potentially obstructing vision.

2. Entropion (Inward-Turning Eyelid): Causes irritation and discomfort as eyelashes rub against the cornea.

3. Ectropion (Outward-Turning Eyelid): Leads to excessive tearing, irritation, and dryness due to poor eyelid closure.

4. Blepharitis: Chronic inflammation of the eyelid margins, causing redness, swelling, and crusting.

5. Chalazion & Stye: Painful or painless lumps on the eyelid caused by blocked oil glands or bacterial infections.

6. Eyelid Tumors & Growths: Benign or malignant lesions that require medical evaluation and removal.

7. Trichiasis: Abnormal inward growth of eyelashes, leading to corneal damage and discomfort.

8. Lid Retraction: A condition where the eyelid is abnormally high or low, exposing too much of the eye surface.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Our specialists perform a detailed eye examination to determine the cause and severity of the eyelid abnormality. Treatment options include:

• Medications & Eye Drops: Used for infections, inflammation, and lubrication to relieve discomfort.

• Eyelid Hygiene & Warm Compresses: Effective for conditions like blepharitis and minor styes.

• Minor Procedures: Drainage of chalazion or correction of trichiasis using laser or electrolysis.

• Surgical Correction: Advanced eyelid surgeries, including ptosis repair, entropion/ectropion correction, and tumor removal, ensuring both functional and cosmetic improvement.

• Reconstructive Surgery: For complex cases involving trauma or congenital defects, restoring both appearance and eye protection.

At Yashoda Nethralaya, we use state-of-the-art techniques to ensure precise and effective treatment for all eyelid disorders. Our goal is to enhance both vision and eye comfort while preserving the natural appearance of your eyelids.
