Eyelids


The palpebral pathologies requiring surgical intervention are several.
They may include:

  • The malposition of the eyelid : entropion, ectropion;
  • The wrong opening-process of the eyelid : ptosis, blépharospasme;
  • The malposition of the eyelash: trichiasis, distichiasis;
  • The presence of a benign mass, such as chalazion, or suspected malignancy;
  • Eyelid wounds;
  • A chronic watering originating from an obstruction of the tear pathways;
  • An excess of skin, called blepharochalasis.

We describe in a non-exhaustive way the main pathologies and their management in the ophthalmology department of the intercommunal hospital in Créteil.
