Plain-English summary
A 6-month-old leopard gecko was brought in because one of its eyelids was partially fused since birth, which can cause problems with vision and comfort. The veterinarian diagnosed this condition, known as congenital ankyloblepharon, and performed a successful surgery to correct the eyelid issue. After the procedure, the gecko was expected to recover well and have improved eyelid function.
