Collodion baby syndrome also known as lamellar ichthyosis, is a rare genetic disorder with an incidence of 1 in 3 lacs live birth. It is characterized by tight shiny membrane covering the body like a plastic wrap.1 On shedding of membrane dry rough scaly skin like that of fish is visible. The ocular feature typical of this syndrome is ectropion which is mainly bilateral, however cases with unilateral ectropion have also been reported.2 The ectropion present in these children makes them prone to exposure keratopathy which could be sight threatening. It is a rare clinical condition in which timely intervention and conservative management can prevent permanent vision loss because of exposure to keratopathy.3-5 So, we are reporting a rare case of bilateral congenital ectropion.Abstract
