5. Eye Pain
Patients who are dealing with the onset of ectropion start to develop multiple symptoms related to the condition. The emergence of chronic dry eye syndrome in the patient causes plenty of irritation and redness in the eyes, along with sensitivity to light sources. The patient may find that they also start to develop a shooting pain in the eyes as well.
The patient may experience pain emanating from the base of the eyeball, shooting up through the top of the eye and into the forehead. This eye pain is a sign that the condition is starting to affect the health of the nervous system and the brain. The affected individual requires immediate medical treatment at this stage, or they risk the onset of further complications.
Doctors help patients manage their pain symptoms through the use of anti-inflammatories and pain killers. However, medications are not a permanent solution to the problem, and the patient requires corrective surgery to resolve the issue.
