In this episode of EENT101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, explains Ectropion, an eyelid disorder where the lower lid turns outward, exposing the conjunctiva. We review the causes—ranging from age-related tissue laxity to facial nerve palsy and post-trauma changes—and walk through the classic signs and symptoms like excessive tearing, eye irritation, and redness. You’ll learn when conservative management (like lubricants) is appropriate and when surgical correction is indicated. Plus, we'll go over complications if left untreated, including exposure keratitis.
