Ablepharia
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-000043
A congenital malformation characterized by the partial or complete absence of the eyelids. This condition can affect one or both eyes and is often associated with other ocular or facial anomalies. The absence of eyelids leaves the eye unprotected, leading to potential damage from exposure.
