Abnormalities in eyelid position and function can lead to chronic irritation of cornea and conjunctiva. Corneal ulceration, vascularization and pigmentation are common consequences. Loss of vision, or loss of the globe may be the end result. The combination of ptosis and entropion of the upper eyelid is commonly seen in breeds with abundant forehead skin folds. Treatment options include surgical reduction of skin folds, suspending the brows, enforced secondary granulation of the upper eyelid, or a combination of procedures. Lid-shortening procedures reduce corneal exposure, improve functional blinking and reduce likelihood of traumatic proptosis. Although a lateral canthoplasty is technically easier to perform, a medial canthoplasty is the preferred method of eyelid shortening. An involuted lateral canthus with entropion is seen in certain dog breeds with a broad skull base and redundant facial skin. Surgical correction is by either applying traction to the lateral canthus, or by resection of the lateral canthal ligament. A combination of entropion, ectropion and macroblepharon may result in the presence of diamond shaped eyelids. Surgical correction involves the combination of several procedures. Upper eyelid agenesis is a congenital absence of part of the upper eyelid in cats. Treatment options include a skin-orbicularis flap from the lower eyelid with a conjunctival pedical graft, the transposition of the lower eyelid to the upper eyelid, cross lid flap and subdermal plexus flap, and subdermal collagen injection. Several techniques for reconstruction of upper and lower eyelid defects are described.

“…Several surgical techniques have been described to repair the upper eyelids, ranging from simple closure of smaller colobomas to surgical procedures that move skin and conjunctiva into the defect [8]. Small lesions (1/4-1/3 lid margin) can be repaired by simple closure (with or without a releasing incision at the lateralcanthus), in larger lesions (1/3 margin or greater) more complex surgical techniques must be used.…”

Coloboma is a genetic disorder which occurs due to a defect in the eye structure such as iris, lens, choroid plexus or optic disc. In this report, coloboma with posterior synechia in the right eye and iris prolapse in the left eye of a kitten are reported. A two-month-old female domestic short-hair cat with discrete from eyes, hyperemia, purulent discharge and photophobia was referred to the Small Animal Teaching Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran. In clinical examination of the eyes, the lack of lateral part of the upper eyelid and posterior synechia in the right eye and iris prolapse in the left eye were found. Bacterial conjunctivitis was detected as well. The kitten case history showed a hereditary reason for the right eye deficiency and a traumatic reason for the left eye iris prolapse. Eye examination revealed no other hereditary disorders. Because of the limited disorder of the right eyelid, treatment was based on topical antibiotic and anti-inflammation drugs. Surgery was performed to treat the left eye iris prolapse. The present case is the first report of coincidence of upper eyelid coloboma with posterior synechia in cat in veterinary literature.

“…For colobomas involving less than 25% of the eyelid length, relatively minor surgical intervention, such as excision of the colobomatous region followed by primary apposition can be used 1,15 . Severe colobomas affecting a greater portion of the superior eyelid may require the use of more complicated surgical techniques such as advancement and rotational flaps 15–20 …”

“…1,15 Severe colobomas affecting a greater portion of the superior eyelid may require the use of more complicated surgical techniques such as advancement and rotational flaps. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Surgical repair of eyelid agenesis should satisfy specific criteria as they relate to corneal protection and eyelid restoration. 20 Successful eyelid reconstruction includes providing an outer layer of skin and a middle layer of muscle and support which are lined by a mucus membrane to protect, moisten, and cover the cornea.…”

Repair of eyelid agenesis in nine eyes of five cats using a lip commissure to eyelid transposition is described. The procedure is a modification of the technique described by Pavletic for reconstruction of the canine inferior eyelid and provides skin, mucosa, a mucocutaneous junction, and muscle to reconstruct the superior and inferior eyelid and lateral canthus. The technique was successful in all eyes and resulted in improvement in corneal protection, cosmesis and in several cats a return of the palpebral reflex.

Correction of eyelid coloboma in four cats using subdermal collagen and a modified Stades technique

Abstract: Four feline cases of bilateral eyelid coloboma were treated with injectable subdermal collagen and a modified Stades technique. This new technique was found to be easy to perform and the long-term results appear to be similar to other published reports.
