Testimonials
Dear Dr. Soroudi, I have been suffering from droopy eyelids and puffy bags under my eyes for years. So many people asked me if I was angry or depressed or if I hadn't had much sleep, but I was fine; it was just the way I looked.

Ectropion Repair
The eyelid structure is very much like an elastic band in nature; it gently stretches over the eye and “hugs” it; by doing so, very much like wind-shield wipers of cars, during blinking, the eyelids allow our natural tears to moisten our eyes and corneas it help keep the eye moist at all times. The eyelid anatomy is very much like an obese person wearing sweat pants that hugs his/her stomach; the elastic band keeps the pants from falling down.
For multiple reasons, some people lose this elasticity which causes their eyelids to unfurl. Once the eyelid is away from the eye itself, the tears, instead of rolling down the eyes and draining through the nose, they start to “pool” and run down the cheeks (this is called epiphora). Also, by not doing their usual job of constantly lubricating the eye, people with ectropion suffer from severe dry eyes, tearing, redness, pain, and even ulceration and bleeding.
Dr. Soroudi specializes in performing minimally-invasive ectropion repair under local anesthesia. This procedure is done under local anesthesia with minimal sedation, and you may return to all your usual activities within a day or two.
If u suffer from ectropion, make an appointment to see Dr. Soroudi for an in-depth evaluation; you’d be amazed at how much better you’ll feel (and look) after surgery.
