Epiblepharon


 Extra fold of skin in the lower lid with inturning of eyelashes

 Nasal 1/3rd is most commonly affected

 Treatment: Plastic repair if necessary to prevent recurrent infection.

Euryblepharon

Rare, congenital, bilateral, not so serious condition


  •  Palpebral apertures are larger than normal 



              and may be with epicanthus




  • Excessive watering may be a problem due to more exposure


 Treatment:

 No treatment for most of the cases; lateral tarsorrhaphy for symptomatic cases.
