Eyelid burns may cause irreversible damage to the eyelids and eye globe. We review 45 patients with eyelid burns, in 8 of whom skin grafting was required due to the deepness of the burn. The results were satisfactory in all except 1, in whom 9 surgical procedures were required to give complete coverage of the cornea. During 1 procedure skin was grafted directly onto the conjunctiva. The other 36 patients were treated conservatively.
