Plain-English summary
Four cats with eyelid coloboma, a condition where part of the eyelid is missing, were treated using a new method involving injectable collagen and a modified surgical technique. The procedure was straightforward for the veterinarians to perform, and the long-term results were promising, similar to other treatments reported in the past. This approach could help improve the appearance and function of the eyelids in affected cats.
