Eyelid Conditions
The eyelids play a vital role in protecting the eyes and keeping them healthy. A number of conditions can affect the eyelids — some are mainly cosmetic, while others can impact comfort or vision.
Common eyelid problems include
- Eyelid malpositions – such as drooping (ptosis), turning in (entropion), or turning out (ectropion). These can cause irritation, watering, or blocked vision.
- Lumps and bumps – like chalazion (styes) or cysts, which are usually harmless but may need treatment if persistent.
- Skin changes – including sun-related lesions, which in rare cases may represent skin cancer.
- Excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis) – which can weigh down the eyelids and interfere with clear sight.
Treatment and care
Treatment depends on the condition. Options may include simple office procedures, minor surgery to restore eyelid position, or removal of lesions for diagnosis. In many cases, surgery can both improve comfort and restore a more natural appearance.
Because the eyelids are so important for eye health, an expert assessment is recommended if you notice changes in their position, persistent lumps, or new growths on the skin.
