Surgical management of congenital upper-eyelid eversion.
We describe a case of congenital eversion of the upper eyelids in which early surgery was performed to prevent occlusion amblyopia. The surgery, described here for the first time for this condition, consisted of using multiple suture placements to anatomically reposition the eyelids.
