Euryblepharon
In euryblepharon, the lateral aspect of the palpebral aperture is enlarged, with downward displacement of the temporal half of the lower eyelid. This condition gives the appearance of a very wide palpebral fissure or a droopy lower eyelid. Euryblepharon may occur in Kabuki syndrome. Most patients do not require treatment.
