Ectropion is an eversion, or rolling out, of the eyelid margin away from the eyeball. The cause of most ectropion is significant, age-related eyelid laxity. Ectropion causes sagging of the eyelid and loss of eyelid tone. The main symptoms of ectropion are irritation, dryness, and tearing. These can be temporarily relieved with artificial tears and ophthalmic ointments to lubricate the eye. However, surgical intervention is the definitive treatment.
