Ectropion
Entropion (in turning) of the eyelid is a very common issue among the elderly. In this age group the entropion usually occurs due weakening of the eyelid structures.
The patient experiences symptoms of eye irritation, watering, foreign body sensation due to the lashes constantly rubbing on the cornea with every blink. In cases not treated early, complications like corneal infections and ulcer may arise, which can lead to permanent decrease in vision or worse still the infection can spread in the internal parts of the eye.
Surgery entails repositioning of the loose structures such that the eyelid regains its normal position again without any in or out turn. Surgery is done under local anaesthesia as a day care procedure and takes an hour approximately.

Xanthalesma
Xanthelasma is a common skin condition characterized by yellowish, cholesterol-rich patches that typically appear on or around the eyelids. While these deposits are usually harmless and non-painful, they can cause cosmetic concerns, leading individuals to seek treatment for aesthetic reasons. Xanthelasma often occurs in middle-aged or older adults and may be associated with elevated cholesterol levels or lipid disorders, prompting a need for medical evaluation.
While there are options of lasers or chemical peels for this issue, both require multiple sittings with a high rate of scarring and incomplete removal. Surgical approach allows removal of the entire existing lesion and converts an unsightly condition into very fine linear scars that fade with time.
