Three cases of congenital euryblepharon are presented. In these cases, horizontal width of the eyelid margin is abnormally increased in comparison to the globe and orbit. The 3 cases were all different. One case had involvement of all 4 lids. Another had unilateral involvement of upper and lower eyelids. A third case had bilateral lower lid involvement associated with other anomalies. The additional anomalies which have not been previously reported include a double row of meibomian gland orifices and an extreme lateral displacement of the lower canaliculus and punctum. All cases had varying degrees of vertical shortage of skin in the involved lids leading to lagophthalmos with a mild to moderate exposure keratitis. A review of previously reported cases of euryblepharon is made. The types of surgical procedures used to correct the deformities are discussed.
