What's a cat's life like after entropion surgery? Will she go blind?

Question

Hello, My cat has entropion and although I know surgery will be necessary, I don't know after surgery how her life will be? Will she need eye drops/cream for the rest of her life? Will she eventually go blind or lose her sight??? Is the surgery 'full proof', meaning she won't have any other issues down the road with her eyes? I am very worries. Thank you.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! He great news is that entropion surgery is usually uncomplicated and very effective for long-term. It is essentially just removing a small piece of the eyelid. Right after she will need an E-collar and some eye ointment but she shouldn’t need long-term eye care if all goes well and the eyes are otherwise healthy. Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Rune!
