Ectropion is a medical condition where the edge of the eyelid turns outwards away from the eyeball. This results in a gap between the eyelid and eyeball. The inside of the eyelid gets red and irritated and gets discharge. Ectropion repair surgery rotates the eyelid back towards the eyeball which improves the redness and discharge.

As a parent, the health of your child is of the utmost importance. I took care of the kids from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for many years as the certified specialist in Oculoplastic surgery. The most common congenital eyelid conditions that kids see me for is congenital ptosis (droopy eyelid), congenital tear duct blockage, and eyelashes that rub against the eyeball. As a mom myself, I interact well with kids and I am conservative and cautious in my care of your precious child. And I welcome that honor.

Tearing, or watery eyes, is a common problem. Sometimes your tearing is due to dry eye, and sometimes it is not. I do a comprehensive and systematic evaluation to identify the cause of your tearing and then I treat your tearing in a step-wise fashion with medication first and later with surgery, if needed.
