Thank you for your question and photo. Minimally invasive surgery can be performed to correct your entropion; however, it will be important to make sure that you are healthy enough for surgery. I would recommend seeing an ASOPRS - trained oculoplastic surgeon for a consultation and you can work together to see if surgery is appropriate for you.

J. Timothy Heffernan, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. However, due to your health problems and long list of medications I do not think surgery is a good option for you. I would consult with your primary care doctor first to discuss your overall health status. Best of luck, Dr. Heffernan
