老年性睑内翻

定义

这是一种眼睑（通常是下眼睑）向内折叠的老年性疾病。非常不舒服，因为睫毛不断摩擦角膜，刺激角膜。睑内翻通常是由遗传因素引起，当下眼睑长出额外的皮肤皱褶时，内翻很少可能是先天性的。内翻也会造成眼睛的继发性疼痛（导致自我创伤、眼睑疤痕或神经损伤）。

This is a senile condition in which the eyelid (usually the lower lid) folds inward. It is very uncomfortable, as the eyelashes constantly rub against the cornea and irritate it. Entropion is usually caused by genetic factors and very rarely it may be congenital when an extra fold of skin grows with the lower eyelid (epiblepharon). Entropion can also create secondary pain of the eye (leading to self trauma, scarring of the eyelid, or nerve damage).
