Entropion is a medical condition in which the eyelid (usually the lower lid) folds inward. It is very uncomfortable, as the eyelashes constantly rub against the cornea and irritate it. Entropion is usually caused by genetic factors. This is different from when an extra fold of skin on the lower eyelid causes lashes to turn in towards the eye (epiblepharon). In epiblepharons, the eyelid margin itself is in the correct position, but the extra fold of skin causes the lashes to be misdirected. Entropion can also create secondary pain of the eye (leading to self trauma, scarring of the eyelid, or nerve damage). The upper or lower eyelid can be involved, and one or both eyes may be affected. When entropion occurs in both eyes, this is known as "bilateral entropion." Repeated cases of trachoma infection may cause scarring of the inner eyelid, which may cause entropion. In human cases, this condition is most common to people over 60 years of age.
Symptoms of entropion include:
If I were a country without borders
I would change this old world order
And let you in...
I would be a tree in summer growing
A symbol of life flowing
My leaves and branches opening...
I call the image down to me
With each breath - a prayer I speak
Make us One Tribe...
One Tribe...
If I come to you
Will you come to me
With every language - sacred to you
If I were a boat upon the water
I would sail your sons and daughters
To the lands of the free...
I would grow a garden that was ours
A natural home of flowers
All in bloom eternally...
I call the image down to me
With each breath - a prayer I speak
Make us One Tribe...
One Tribe...
Heal with a human touch
Nothing else if left for us
Make us, be One Tribe...
Come in the dark when the night is lonely
Open your heart to something holy
Sing with the lark before the break of dawn...
If I come to you
Will you come to me
With every language - every creed
If I trust in you
Will you trust in me
So we could all be One Tribe...
I call the image down to me

Heal with a human touch
Nothing else is left for us
Make us, be One Tribe...

With every language - every creed
