Entropion in a kitten

Our little foster has Entropion (her eyelids roll inwards), and she'll be going in next week for her spay and surgery to fix her eyes.

Now... say "hypothetically" we decided to adopt her.... What sort of future eye problems could she have, if any, because of this? Does the surgery normally fix her for life, or could she keep having issues?

We had a shelter kitten go through the same surgery. I am under the impression that it fixes the problem permanently. I'm not 100% sure on that, though.

Good luck to your little girl next week! (sorry, the only name I can think of is Stumpy! )

That's ok! This is Smudge, our little foster Her little eyes just look so cloudy still, and while her short range vision is good, I don't think her long range vision is good. When she's chasing the laser pointer, once it gets more than a couple of metres away from her, she loses it and goes searching for it even if it's in a clear spot right in front of her.

I guess I'll just ask the vets on Monday...

Smudge! Duh!

I should also mention that the "residual" cloudiness the kitten here had disappeared about a week after surgery.
