As a consequence, the lines of eyelids tend to roll inwards. This situation is called Entropion. It usually occurs to the lower eyelids. Due to inward rolling, the eyelashes brush against the cornea or conjunctiva. It further leads to various subsequent eye problems such as irritation, inflammation, etc. 4)Expression Lines and Eye Wrinkles – As a result of aging, the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, frown lines, Crow’s feet (expression lines formed on the extreme corner of the eye), underline eyes, etc. is consequential.
