When the eye lid curls inward it is called an entropion which is very common in certain breeds like the sheri pei. Having worked for a vet I have seen the surgeries to fix these, I know that it is expensive but without the surgery the damage to the eye could cause blindness. The surgery itself is no more then removing a small piece of skin from under the eye to help keep the eye lid tight, and stop it from rolling inward. The sight heels fast and then you'll not have to worry about it again.
