Entropion is treated surgically by removing a part of the eyelid skin to correct the entropion and prevent the eyelashes from irritating the conjunctiva or the cornea. The surgical outcomes for this condition are generally good. Over time, as eyelids may become more lax, entropion can recur. However, this is not considered a recurrence but rather a progression of the condition. Following these occurrences, the primary focus should be on maintaining good eye hygiene, proper eye usage, avoiding staying up late, consuming a bland diet, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Regular follow-ups are recommended, along with consuming fruits and vegetables that are high in vitamins E, A, and C.
