- Conditions
- Ectropion
- Registration Number
- NCT02893813
- Lead Sponsor
- Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville

Ectropion of the eyelid can lead to skin retraction, stenosis of lacrimal point, chronic watering, visual discomfort or low visual acuity, mostly when it occurs with ectropion of lacrimal point.
