Background

Eyelids are vulnerable to trauma, leading to considerable morbidity because of impaired functionality, altered eyelid mechanics, and compromised cosmesis.

Methods

In this regard, the purpose of the present systematic review is to provide comprehensive information on the prevalence of different types of eyelid trauma, treatment methods, and complications reported in the literature over the last 25 years (up to 2026).

n = 56

Results

75%-90%

most patients healed well and looked good after quick repair

n = 56

More results

Of these, 80 met the inclusion criteria for qualitative analysis, and 35 underwent quantitative evaluation.

More results

Laceration injury is the most prevalent form of trauma, being present in up to 70% of patients (n = 56 out of 80), whereas up to 20% and 7.5% of cases are represented by canalicular trauma and eyelid avulsion, respectively (n = 16 out of 80 and n = 6 out of 80, respectively).

“

Conclusion

In conclusion, proper diagnostics, accurate anatomical correction, and personalised care for eyelid trauma are essential for optimal treatment outcomes.
