Question
A 6-month-old baby has had inward-growing eyelashes since birth, causing frequent tearing. I am inquiring about possible treatment options.
Answer
Treatment for inverted eyelashes may include methods such as eyelash plucking, electrolysis of the hair follicles, cryoplastic eyelash removal, and surgical correction. The choice depends on the specific situation. A simple and highly successful surgical method is the double eyelid plate rotation technique. The doctor recommends using eye drops, but there has been no improvement as yet. It is advisable to consult with a professional ophthalmologist to obtain an appropriate treatment plan.
