Eyelid colobomas are congenital defects caused by failure of fusion of the mesodermal lid folds.^1,2 The timing and approach to surgical repair depend on the severity of the defect and exposure keratopathy.^1-7 Tarsomarginal grafts have been well described in eyelid reconstructions following tumor excision.^8,9 Descriptions of lid coloboma repair using this approach are limited.^8,9 We describe a series of upper lid colobomas repaired with the tarsomarginal graft.
