Trichiasis occurs when one or more eyelashes grow inward toward the eye instead of outward. This can cause redness, tearing, light sensitivity, and a persistent foreign-body sensation.

Addressing underlying causes such as inflammation, scarring, or eyelid disorders helps prevent recurrence. Have you seen this before? VC: @deltalash Follow @doctorsoood to improve your health IQ
