If entropion is extreme and causing damage, the eye doctor may prescribe surgery. The doctor will choose the best procedure based on the cause of the condition. For example, if the muscles and skin have relaxed, the surgeon may remove a small part of the eyelid to tighten it up. If there is scarring from previous surgery or an injury, the surgeon may graft a small piece of skin taken from the ear.
