Abnormalities were limited to the ocular surface in the 4 female cats, whereas the sole male cat had additional abnormalities consistent with anterior segment dysgenesis.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>TREATMENT AND OUTCOME<\/jats:bold> A modified Roberts-Bistner procedure involving 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (2OCA) was performed on 9 eyes; 1 eye was enucleated. Surgical wounds in the initial 3 eyes were closed with 2OCA plus sutures, and flaps were lined with conjunctiva. The technique was optimized for remaining eyes by use of a single suture for flap apposition, no conjunctival lining of flaps, and 2OCA alone for wound closure. Median duration of surgery was 35 minutes\/eye for the initial 3 eyes versus 16 minutes\/eye for the subsequent 6 eyes treated with the optimized procedure. After surgery, all cats had complete palpebral reflexes and resolution of clinical signs of ocular irritation. Minor complications in the early postoperative period included eyelid swelling (n = 9), poor cosmesis (7), and persistent epiphora (3). By the second recheck examination, swelling had resolved and cosmesis was considered excellent. Two eyes with epiphora had been treated with the initial modified procedure and required cryoepilation for resolution of epiphora.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> The modified Roberts-Bistner procedure for eyelid agenesis involving 2OCA for wound closure provided functional, cosmetic eyelids that improved comfort and provided protection of the ocular surface in affected
