This is a case of lower eyelid cicatricial ectropion with symblepharon and full-thickness lid defect in a 40 years old lady due to injury by a sharp object.On examination, her lower lid had a deep full thickness cut which extends from lid margin to cheek up to mid nasolabial sulcus creating a deep scar band of approx 70 mm long. This case has been managed successfully by multiple ‘Z’ plasty with lid reconstruction under GA
