EYELID DISORDERS PROGNOSIS |
|
|
The prognosis for styes and chalazia is
good to excellent. With treatment, blepharitis, ectropion, and
entropion usually have good outcomes. The prognosis for nonmalignant
tumors, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma is good
once they are properly removed. Survival rate for malignant melanoma
depends upon how early it was discovered and if it was completely
removed. Sebaceous carcinomas are difficult to detect, so poor
outcomes are more frequent.
All of these eyelid disorders, if not treated, can lead to other,
possibly serious vision problems--dry eye, astigmatism, or even
vision loss, for example. An ophthalmologist or optometrist should
be consulted. |
