Abstract
Ankyloblepharon is a rare congenital abnormality consisting of partial or complete adhesion of the upper and lower eyelids by single or multiple bands. Ankyloblepharon is potentially amblyogenic condition. It is generally isolated but can present with systemic diseases. Its presence should alert the need for a detailed systemic evaluation. We present a 1 month old baby who presented to our institute with bilateral adhesions of the upper and lower eyelids, and then patient is evaluated systemically and then surgery was planned. The adhesion was excised with the use of Radio-Frequency cauteryundershort sedation. The separation of the lidsbefore the development of visual milestones is potentially important to prevent the onset of stimulus deprivation amblyopia.
