Eye lash hair touching eyes
My grandmothers lower lid eye lash is turned towards her eyes and her lash hair are always touched to the eyes

Her eyes stay red and ichy
this is happening from past 3 days
After consulting a doctor we are using "Ikul plus" drops.
Please suggest what should be done keeping in mind the lockdown situation

She has entropion of lower eyelid.
Temporarily, you can pull the eyelid skin with a clean finger to rotate the lash outwards.
But she may need a surgery for permanent cure.
Use lubricant eyedrops(Ikul plus drops is fine) every 2 hours to prevent her cornea from getting dry and scratched.
Next Steps
Visit ophthalmologist to check her cornea and consider surgery
