Eyelid tear repair is a surgical procedure performed to restore the structure and function of the eyelid after trauma, lacerations, or injuries. Such tears may be caused by accidents, animal bites, sharp objects, or blunt trauma. Prompt and precise repair is important to maintain eyelid alignment, protect the eye surface, and preserve normal blinking function. Depending on the severity, repair may involve suturing skin, muscle, and tarsal plate, as well as reconstructing the tear drainage system if damaged. Early intervention helps prevent complications like eyelid deformity, corneal exposure, or chronic tearing.
