Abstract
The socket surfaces, conjunctival fornices and palpebral aperture are intimately related. Any socket or fornix abnormality will affect the contour and size of the palpebral aperture. Conversely, a cicatricial lid deformity will alter the depth and contour of the conjunctival fornix. Any surgical correction of a lid malposition must calculate the resultant effect on the socket.
