Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Entropion (en-TROH-pee-on) is a condition in which your eyelid turns inward so that your eyelashes and skin rub against the eye surface. This causes irritation and discomfort. When you have entropion, your eyelid may be turned in all the time or only when you blink hard or squeeze your eyelids shut.

Detailed explanation-2: -The entropion is believed to be secondary to abnormal activity of the orbicularis muscle, and a defective tarsal plate and retractor muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some children will grow out of this condition, so if the entropion is mild and the patient is monitored for ongoing damage to the surface of the eye, surgery may sometimes be avoided.
