Abstract
There was high prevalence of astigmatism in patients with epiblepharon (52.2% had 1 D or more of astigmatism). A total of 9% of patients had amblyopia from astigmatism. Surgery did not seem to affect astigmatism especially in young children. Possibility of amblyopia from astigmatism must be borne in mind while treating children with epiblepharon.
