Trichiasis can cause eye discomfort, pain, tears, photophobia, blurred vision, etc.

What are the symptoms of trichiasis

Trichiasis refers to eyelashes growing backward and touching the surface of the eye, thus stimulating the cornea and conjunctiva, causing inflammation and damage. The causes of trichiasis include eyelid entropion, eyelid relaxation, sinusitis, genetic factors and eye trauma. Treatment

methods include surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. Surgical treatment includes correction of eyelid entropion, eyelash extraction, etc., which can effectively solve trichiasis. Non-surgical treatment includes eye drops, eye ointment and other medical treatment, as well as eyelash curlers, mascara brushes and other tools to turn eyelashes outward.

In terms of diet, patients should pay attention to eating foods rich in vitamin A, E and protein, such as carrots, cod liver oil, milk, eggs, etc., to promote eyelash growth and repair.
