Standard eye inflammation or dryness may also bring about entropion under the right conditions. When the eye becomes irritated because of this dryness or inflammation, patients will likely find themselves squeezing their eyes shut or rubbing them constantly to relieve their symptoms. However, these actions can exacerbate the problem and cause patients to also experience entropion. When individuals squeeze their eyes shut too often or rub them too much, it's possible the eyelid muscles will spasm. This spams could cause the edge of the upper eyelid to roll inward. Whether individuals duffer from eye dryness or inflammation, they'll want to have this underlying condition treated if they want to feel relief from entropion.
