To cause ectropion to develop; to surgically turn an eyelid outward, typically as a medical or surgical procedure.
From 'ectropion' + '-ize' (to cause, to make); formed as a verb to describe the action of creating or inducing this eyelid condition.
Surgeons might ectropionize an eyelid intentionally in certain reconstructive cases, using what seems like damage to actually improve function—it's surgical judo!
