Inverted eyelashes can be treated with eyelash removal, electrolysis, and endolithiasis correction surgery.
1. Eyelash extraction: If the number of implanted eyelashes is small, the patient can have the eyelashes extracted to relieve the discomfort. The patient usually needs to go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital, and the doctor will use eyelash tweezers to pull out the eyelashes under the slit lamp microscope.
2. Electrolysis: In order to avoid the recurrence of inverted eyelashes, patients can be treated with electrolysis, which is the use of a special electrically charged probe to enter the eyelash follicle to destroy the follicle, thus avoiding the occurrence of inverted eyelashes.
3. Blepharoplasty: If a large number of eyelashes grow abnormally due to blepharoplasty, which irritates the eye surface tissues, the patient can be treated by surgery, such as blepharoplasty, to correct the eyelids that are rolled up towards the eyeballs to the normal position, so as to alleviate the symptoms of inverted eyelashes.
It is recommended that inverted eyelashes patients consult a hospital in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for regular treatment to avoid delays in their condition.
