Having problems with the last few, any help greatly appreciated!

3d Must run notice about operation for eye complaint (9)
E?TROP?O?
Think it must be either ECTROPION or ENTROPION but can't understand the wordplay.

17d Ceramic fragment, a poet's term for which alternatively is about right (8)
Think it must be POTSHARD or POTSHARE but do not fully understand the wordplay.

27d Roman chariot with two horses rather lively, tails docked (4)
?IG?
Think it is BIGA, but don't understand the wordplay

33a. Paramilitary army in India without answer (4)
S??? Think the second letter is either E or D and the last is A. Think it could be SERA.

Many thanks for your help.

ECTROPION anagram of notice + r(runs) + op(operation)

Many thanks roslyn. Your answer makes it very clear!

33a Sena = sen short for senza - Italian - without and A for Answer

[GetOverIt]

a Biga is certainly a chariot, so I'm thinking the wordplay is bi(t) ga(y)...maybe?

potshare fits with sena - apoets + r are in there , not sure of the "h"
