Trichiasis

In this state a few small scattered and distorted eyelashes get turned inwardly and rub on the cornea. Dirty and infected eyelids, and burn injuries lead to trichiasis.

Prevention and Precautions
Eyelids should be kept clean with warm water. Proper medication in sore eye prevents this condition. Avoid irritation of the cornea. Trichiasis leads to lacrymation (watering of the eyes), foggy vision, gritty sensation; sometimes,even cornea ulcers may occur in the eye. It causes loss of sleep.
