Droopy lower eyelids (ectropion) are usually present in Basset hounds and other hound breeds.
Entropion (rolling inwards) starts as Intermittent Entropion (with the eyelids sometimes positioned normally), advances to Entropion, and requires surgery. Either upper or lower lids may be involved, or a combination of both. In breeds where entropion is accompanied by heavy face folds, or in cases where surgery is necessary before a dog is fully mature, it is not unusual for more than one surgical procedure to be required.

I have experience of a cocker spaniel with entropian (which needed three lots of surgery to correct) - he is now fine.
Can I suggest you register so you can discuss this further.
I have posted on this subject several times before so if you do a search using the facility in the top right hand corner using the word 'entropian' it should help you.
