Inversion of the Eyelids.The first effect of this inversion of the lids is to make the lashes rub against the globe of the eye. The result of this position of the hairs is first a severe irritation of the cornea, which results in a haziness and opacity of this structure. The growth of the hairs themselves is also impaired ; they become stunted and changed in the direction of their growth. After a time the hairs become brittle, and perhaps only a few stumps are left here and there to mark the position of the eyelashes. Treatment.-Since the condition depends upon granulations of the eyelid, it can be relieved only when these granulations have been removed. After this has been accomplished, measures may be taken to remedy the condition and position of the eyelid. To effect a cure a surgical operation is usually required, hence it will be unnecessary to discuss the treatment in detail. Temporary relief can, however, be obtained by pulling out the eyelashes. To do this the edge of the lid should be raised somewhat from the eye, since the lashes which cause the irritation are often situated out of sight when the lid retains its natural position. When the edge of the lid is thus raised there will often be seen a row of stumps projecting toward the surface of the eye. These should be pulled out, one by one. Further than this it is not advisable for the non-professional to go. But first, if you want to come back to this web site again, just add it to your bookmarks or favorites now!
