Zusammenfassung:	To evaluate eyelid margin alterations in ectropion carriers. An observational study was done involving 53 eyelid ectropion patients and 25 individuals with dermochalasis (control group). Eyelash position and margin inflammation were observed using digital images. The data were submitted to statistical analysis. Patients with ectropion showed a decreased number of eyelashes, loose convexity, trichiasis and distichiasis as compared with the control group. Patients with eyelid ectropion have eyelid margin alterations probably due to the chronic inflammatory process in this region.
