Entropion, (Inverted Eyelid) A Simple Guide To The Condition, Diagnosis, Treatment And Related Conditions【電子書籍】[ Kenneth Kee ]
＜p＞This book describes Entropion (Inverted Eyelid), Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases＜/p＞ ＜p＞Recently I have a 20 year old patient who has bilateral entropion which causes her lower eyelashes to turn inwards and irritate her conjunctiva and also blur her vision.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She had laser abrasion of her lower eyelashes done by an eye surgeon which gave her some relief for a few months but unfortunately the eyelashes grew back and irritated her eyes again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She was then referred to an eye surgeon for surgical treatment of her entropion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the moment she is still recovering from her operation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In fact my own mother had this same problem in her seventies due to aging and the drooping of lax eyelid muscles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She went to an eye surgeon who did a laser removal of her lower eyelashes and tightening of the lower eyelid muscles which gave her temporary relief for a few months before it recurs again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She went for six surgeries but the entropion recurred each time due to her aged lax eyelid muscles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the end she decided not to go for any more operations because she did not improve.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Entropion is depicted as an inversion (rolling inwards) of the eyelid.＜br /＞ Entropion is a medical disorder in which the eyelid is turned inward so that the eyelashes and skin wipe against the eye surface.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This produces irritation and discomfort.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When the patient has entropion, the eyelid may be turned in all the time or only when the patient blinks hard or squeezes the eyelids shut.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Entropion is more frequent in older adults, and it generally involves only the lower eyelid.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Artificial tears and lubricating ointments can help alleviate symptoms of entropion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But normally surgery is required to fully correct the disorder.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Left untreated, the entropion can produce damage to the transparent covering in the front part of the eye (cornea), eye infections and vision loss.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It normally involves the lower eyelid and can induce the eyelashes to be up against the eye, which can induce irritation to the eye and even possibly damage the cornea.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Entropion is more frequent in women than in men.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Entropion is a disorder frequent in older adults that produces the eyelid to turn inward.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In mild forms the disorder can be managed with non-surgical methods, such as Botox injections, transparent tape and eye drops, but the only way to totally reverse entropion is through surgery.＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Cicatricial entropion is produced by scarring of the conjunctiva and relative shortening of the posterior lamella due to chronic autoimmune, infectious, inflammatory, thermal, or traumatic insult.＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Congenital entropion is a rare disorder featured by shortened posterior lamella, capsulopalpebral fascia dysgenesis, and structural weakness of the tarsal fascia.＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞An abnormal type of congenital entropion involves a tarsal bend, in which the upper tarsus is bent, inducing the cilia and the eyelid margin to come in direct contact with the eye globe.＜/p＞ ＜ol start="3"＞ ＜li＞Spastic entropion forms in reaction to acute ocular irritation or inflammation.＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞It often happens in patients with underlying introverted eyelid changes and is further aggravated by the corneal irritation produced by the entropion.＜/p＞ ＜ol start="4"＞ ＜li＞Involutional entropion is produced by horizontal laxity of the eyelid, attenuation or poor insertion of eyelid retractors, and overriding by the pre-septal orbicularis oculi muscle.＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞There is:＜br /＞ a. Overriding orbicularis oculi muscle,＜br /＞ b. Eyelid margin entropion, and＜br /＞ c. Relative enophthalmos with deep superior sulcus.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Entropion can be caused by:＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞Muscle weakness＜/li＞ ＜li＞Scars or previous surgeries＜/li＞ ＜li＞Eye infection＜/li＞ ＜li＞Inflammation＜/li＞ ＜li＞Developmental complication＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞The best treatment is surgery to evert the entropion.＜br /＞ TABLE OF CONTENT＜br /＞ Introduction＜br /＞ Chapter 1 Entropion (Inverted Eyelid)＜br /＞ Chapter 2 Causes＜br /＞ Chapter 3 Symptoms＜br /＞ Chapter 4 Diagnosis＜br /＞ Chapter 5 Treatment＜br /＞ Chapter 6 Prognosis＜br /＞ Chapter 7 Entropion Surgery＜br /＞ Chapter 8 Ectropion＜br /＞ Epilogue＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
