What Are Entropion and Ectropion?
Entropion and ectropion are conditions that affect the position of the eyelids, most commonly the lower eyelid.
• Entropion occurs when the eyelid turns inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the surface of the eye
• Ectropion occurs when the eyelid turns outward, exposing the inner eyelid and preventing proper tear distribution
Both conditions can lead to watering, irritation, redness, and potential damage to the eye surface if left untreated.
At Centre for Sight, treatment is focused on restoring the natural eyelid position while preserving comfort, vision, and long-term eye health.
Types of Eyelid Correction Surgery
1
Entropion Repair
Corrects inward-turning eyelids by repositioning and tightening the eyelid to prevent lashes rubbing against the eye.
2
Ectropion Repair
Repositions the outward-turning eyelid to restore normal contact with the eye and improve tear drainage.
3
Combined / Tailored Eyelid Repair
A personalised approach depending on the cause, severity, and eyelid anatomy.

Patient Success Stories
Absolutely exceptional
From my initial consultation on 30th September to my follow up appointment on 28th October having had cataract surgery and multi focal lenses inserted in both eyes I have received exceptional care, kindness and professionalism. The entire procedure has far exceeded my expectations and absolutely everyone in the team have been incredible. I was made to feel special every step of the way which was painless and totally comfortable. I can wholeheartedly recommend Centre For Sight at East Grinstead.

A friend recommended Centre for Sight.
I had two cataracts removed and am delighted with the outcome. All the staff were highly professional, took meticulous care and their work was exemplary. Particular thanks to Adora who was so kind and reassuring throughout. I highly recommend Centre for Sight for anyone considering treatment.
Eventually I went to Specsavers in Egham for some mild driving glasses and the optician looked into my eyes and said that he had never seen such a good job on lens replacements. Best he had ever seen.

As I write this – five days after the first eye was done, I can see clearly! I’m hoping for further improvement as the coming weeks pass.
Overall, the team are extremely professional, all led under the leadership and expertise of Mr Daya. He only has one objective – to make your vision better. And that he has achieved.
Thank you so much.
Best wishes,

Cataract Surgery Performed Expertly.
Cataract surgery performed expertly by Mr Sheraz M Daya on both eyes. Trifocal lense implants in one procedure and I am now glasses free with better than perfect vision. From start to finish the attention to detail, friendly professionalism and expertise of everyone at Centre For Sight was outstanding.
I cannot praise Mr Daya and his team too highly, and would recommend the procedure to anyone. It truly can be life changing.
Many thanks to everyone at Centre For Sight and in particular Mr Daya.
