Surgery Overview
Entropion surgery in cats involves surgical correction of a condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing eyelashes to rub against the cornea. The procedure typically involves removing a wedge of skin and tissue to realign the eyelid and prevent irritation.
Sweet Zion had been struggling with entropion in both eyes for over 9 months, causing discomfort, redness, excessive tearing, discharge, and frequent squinting. This condition causes the eyelids to roll inward, leading to the eyelashes constantly rubbing against the eyes, which can result in irritation and vision issues. After a thorough consultation with Dr. Lee, his owner decided surgery was the best path forward. Wishing Zion a smooth recovery and brighter, more comfortable days ahead!
