Surgery <\/a>around the eye may result in damage to the nerves or ligaments that control the eyeball. In most cases of ectropion that occur due to eye surgery, the effects of the condition pass as the eyelid and ligaments heal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, in some cases, the ectropion symptoms may become permanent, and the patient requires further surgery to rectify the eyelid back to normal levels of functionality. Patients who undergo radiation treatment are also at risk of developing the condition. Radiation therapy may weaken the muscles and ligaments in the eyes, causing the onset of ectropion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
