Abstract
Eyelid fit and function are important for maintaining ocular surface health. Some common conditions, which affect these parameters, include abnormal cilia, inappropriate eyelid conformation, eyelid trauma, and neoplasia. When these conditions are associated with discomfort and compromised corneal health, surgical intervention is indicated. The following article reviews common eyelid conditions and recommended surgical techniques for addressing these problems.
