Eyelid and Eyelash Problems
Eyelid and eyelash problems can be very painful and can even affect your sight if left untreated. The eyelids and eyelashes act as protective barriers for our eyes and help ensure your eyes don’t dry out.
There are several eyelid conditions that can cause discomfort:
- Ingrowing eyelashes (Trichiasis)
- Outward-turned eyelids (Ectropion)
- Inward-turned eyelids (Entropian)
- Eye lash thinning
- Blepharitis and MGD

Eyelid and Eyelash Problems
Use the slider to demonstrate a typical eyelid and eyelash problem.
Here you can see ingrowing eyelashes. A condition which is called Trichiasis.
The eyelashes continually rub and irritate the surface of the eyes, causing itchiness and a gritty feeling and a sensation that you have something in your eye.
To determine the cause of your eyelid or eyelash problem book a visit for a comprehensive eye exam.

Typical Symptoms of Eyelid and Eyelash Problems
- A sandy or gritty feeling
- Sore eyes
- Uncomfortable and sometimes painful eyes
- An itching or burning sensation
- Short-term blurred vision
- Watery eyes, as if you are crying (having watery eyes can mean you are producing poor-quality tears and actually have dry eyes)
These are some of the conditions that affect your eyelid and eyelashes:
Ingrown eyelashes (Trichiasis)
When eyelashes grow inwards, they continually rub and irritate the surface of the eyes, causing itchiness and a gritty feeling that you have something in your eye.
Sometimes the eyelashes causing the discomfort are so fine they can only be seen with a magnifying glass. Trichiasis can be caused by previous inflammation of the eyelids.
Outward-turned eyelids (Ectropion)
This can happen as we age, and it usually affect the lower eyelid and gives it a red appearance. If you suffer from Ectropion you often suffer with dry eyes or watery eyes as well.
Inward-turned eyelids (Entropian)
Entropion usually only affects the lower eyelids.
Because the lid is turning inwards the eyelashes rub on the eye and can cause severe pain and discomfort. This condition should be dealt with swiftly so that the cornea does not get damaged.
Eye lash thinning
If you have been suffering with eyelash problems for a while, the lashes sometimes get thinner and sparse. Thankfully at the Eye Health Clinic there is also a treatment to help you regrow your lashes.
