I've heard of this too, sounds so painful, like having something in your eyes all the time 😢

Definition of Entropion from the Mayo Clinic:

 

Entropion (en-TROH-pee-on) is a condition in which your eyelid turns inward so that your eyelashes and skin rub against the eye surface. This causes irritation and discomfort.

When you have entropion, your eyelid may be turned in all the time or only when you blink hard or squeeze your eyelids shut. Entropion is more common in older adults, and it generally affects only the lower eyelid.

 

Artificial tears and lubricating ointments can help relieve symptoms of entropion. But usually surgery is needed to fully correct the condition. Left untreated, entropion can cause damage to the transparent covering in the front part of your eye (cornea), eye infections and vision loss.

I have started to read again, and it is with a good book, Stephen King's "Never Flinch". It is King's latest book and features Holly Gibney. I am only about 22% into the book but am loving it.

10. Never Flinch - Stephen King - 4/5 - my rating is probably higher than Stephen King's rating of his book. The book consists of 3 or 4 different stories that start to converge until it all comes together. Holly Gibney, Jerome, Barbara and a host of others are featured.. 

This is a snippet from the "Afterword" of the book:

 

This was a difficult book to write, partially because I had surgery to repair a damaged hip in late September 2023. Never Flinch has gone through multiple rewrites and three title changes. I'm finally happy with it. Or - let us be truthful - happy enough. It's never all I'd hope for, but there comes a point when you must let it go.

Thanks to my wife, who read the first draft of the book and said, "You can do better." That was hard news to get, but eventually I heeded it because she was right (she usually is).
