Eye Care


Ectropion/Entropion Procedure


This is a surgical correction for out-turning and in-turning lids.  In the operating room of the Phillips Eye Institute, an incision is made at the side of the lower lid.  Lower lid tissue is sutured to the lateral rim of the eye. This restores the lower lid to its original location and tightens its laxity.  We conduct as many postoperative visits as necessary to ensure proper healing.

Eyelid Lesions


For small skin lesions on the eyelid, we typically remove them under microscope control at the Diagnostic and Treatment area of the Phillips Eye Institute. Local anesthesia without sedation is usually used. We send removals for pathologic diagnosis as needed.  Cautery or sutures are applied to the excision site as necessary.  Follow-up is usually by phone or as needed depending upon the pathology report.
