Clarence was born with a congenital condition called entropian eyelids. An entropian eyelid is one where the lid curves in towards the eyeball, and the lashes scrape against the cornea. Normally this is an easily corrected condition when the dog is still a pup. Left untreated, it can cause severe eye inflammation, corneal scarring and even blindness. Clarence was born with entropian eyelids in both eyes, top and bottom. And unfortunately, his former owners did nothing to correct this problem. Now a senior, he was surrendered to rescue. Our volunteers immediately recognized his condition and he was examined by a vet. The dog was in great pain, and was rubbing his reddened eyes frequently. Thankfully no scarring or loss of vision had occurred. He underwent surgery and both lids on both eyes were repaired and sutured. Finally pain free after 9 years of untreated entropian problems, Clarence is living the good life with his new owners!
