Entropion, Cicatricial
In cicatricial entropion, there is a shortening of the conjunctiva or scarring of the tarsal plate so that the eyelid margin is pulled backward against the eye. This can result from trauma or diseases such as cicatricial ocular pemphigoid, symblepharon after chemical burns etc..
