Özet

A 1-year-old, male domestic short haired cat was presented to our Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University

of Istanbul-Cerrahpaşa due to complaints of blepharospasm and epiphora in both eyes present since birth.

In the ocular examination, absence of a part of palpebra in both eyes and persistent pupillary membrane

(PPM) in the left eye were observed. There was trichiasis irritating the corneas in both eyes. Bilateral

palpebral defects and secondary trichiasis were repaired using a Roberts and Bistner technique. This

technique provided a good cosmetic appearance and functional outcome to the patient. Roberts and Bistner

technique is recommended in treating congenital, bilateral eyelid coloboma.
