Like inverted or turned-in eyelid, everted, or turned-out eyelid is not a diseased condition, but the outcome of disease, probably of a weak orbicular muscle.
It is the lower eye that is usually affected, and is curable by operation only.
TORN EYELIDS
Injuries to the eyelids, unless properly treated, are liable to result in permanent unsightliness, or, it may be, affect the sight.
Either of the conditions last alluded to can be produced through injury to the eyelids externally, or internally.
Unless very slightly torn, it will be better to consult a M.R.C.V.S.
FOREIGN BODIES IN THE EYES
Minute particles of foreign substances, such as thorns, the outer covering of various seeds, etc., are liable to gain admission into the eyes.
If the glume of an oat seed, etc., lodges on the cornea, it may remain adherent, setting up inflammation of it. Blindness is a common result.
