Core Tip

Core Tip: Children with congenital glaucoma are often accompanied by acquired epiblepharon in the lower eyelid. This study investigated the ocular axis and corneal diameter of eyes with acquired epiblepharon in the lower lid among patients with congenital glaucoma and explored the cause of acquired epiblepharon in congenital glaucoma patients.
