A recipient bed was created by incising the conjunctiva at the conjunctival\u2010skin border and opening a space in the tissue with blunt dissection without removal of tissue. The free oral mucosal graft was sutured into the space with simple continuous suture pattern of 7\u20100 Vicryl.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eyelids were cosmetically acceptable at final examination, and areas of coloboma appeared less prominent. Patient comfort was improved in all subjects as subjectively noted by decreased blepharospasm. All grafts were successfully incorporated. All patients developed brown\u2010colored crusting over the grafts within days of the surgery, which gradually resolved over a 4\u2010 to 6\u2010week period. Three of seven patients developed few trichiatic hairs at the donor\u2010recipient junction, and two of these patients had follow\u2010up cryoepilation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>For feline eyelid agenesis, free oral mucosal graft implantation was successful in creating space between fur and cornea with insertion of smooth\u2010surfaced, hairless tissue, alleviating the discomfort of hair contacting the cornea. The extra tissue can also create a small overhang or fold of tissue (pseudo\u2010lid) which may also be protective. For two cases, cryoepilation of few trichiatic hairs at the donor\u2010recipient border was performed at a later date. As illustrated by case 3, use of a long and wide rectangular graft with squared edges is recommended to lessen the chance of trichiasis at lateral or medial edges of recipient\u2010donor junctions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vop.12768","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,11]],"date-time":"2020-06-11T08:33:53Z","timestamp":1591864433000},"page":"659-667","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Use
