The median age at the time of surgery was 11.5 years (interquartile range, IQR: 0.0\u201345.7). The median follow-up time was 5 years (IQR: 4\u20136). Goldenhar syndrome was noted in 5 patients (10%). The indications for surgery were cosmetic concerns (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200920, 39%), anisometropia (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20093, 6%), decreased vision (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20094, 8%), and growth or Dellen formation (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20092, 4%). Forty-eight were operated upon, opting for simple excision (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200912, 23.5%), amniotic membrane transplantation (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200916, 31.4%), lamellar keratoplasty (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200915, 29.4%), and penetrating keratoplasty (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20095, 9.8%). The most common complications were corneal scarring (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200919, 37.2%), corneal vascularization (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20092, 3.9%), and infection (n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20091, 2%). Astigmatism &gt; 1 D was observed in 34 (66.7%) eyes after dermoid management ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). There were no complications in 14 eyes (27%), BCVA was &gt; 20\/60 in 43 eyes (84.3%), and only two eyes had BCVA &lt; 20\/400.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Surgical management of limbal dermoids offers promising functional and anatomic outcomes.
